What’s so good about courgette?

How to: Courgette - FAQs

How to cook courgette?

Courgette can be baked, sauteed, grilled and air fried.

Is courgette a fruit?

Yes. Courgette is a fruit from the Cucurbitaceae family.

Can you eat courgette raw?

Yes, courgette can be eaten raw and is particularly tasty in salads and dips.

How to make courgette noodles?

Zucchini noodles, or zoodles, can be made using a spiralizer or a julienne peeler. All you have to do is cut your courgette into your desired size, length and width with the tool of your choice and serve them up. You can cook the noodles, but due to their soft, watery texture you run the risk of them getting mushy rather than crisp, so your best bet is to eat them raw.

Can you freeze courgette?

Yes you can freeze courgette. Though rather than putting it in the freezer cold, it’s recommended that you cut it into slices and blanche it first in order to prolong its lasting time.
