Savory Italian Zucchini Bread (2024)

You may be used to putting zucchini in sweet bread, but this Savory Italian Zucchini Bread is a version that you may not have tried before. It may be the best summer Zucchini recipe ever!

I thought that sweet zucchini bread would always be my thing, but that was until this Savory Italian Zucchini Bread came along.

As a rule, I’m more of a savory person than a sweet person. Put a bag of chips and a plate of cookies in front of me, and I’m going for the chips every time. Unless they’re chocolate chip cookies, then that’s a different story.

This bread is so good slathered with salty softened butter as a snack or alongside dinner. It’s got just the right amount of herbs running through it, with the occasional surprise of a chewy sundried tomato thrown it. It’s truly fantastic.

I love baking loaves of bread in beautiful dishes like the one in the photos. You can never have too many baking dishes and that’s coming from someone who has many many baking dishes!

Here are a few that I really love! This AQUIVER is simple and perfect and so is this Pioneer Woman, you really can’t go wrong with any of her stuff!

Normally I would tell you to squeeze out the excess moisture in the shredded zucchini, but here it adds extra moisture to the bread. So there’s one less step for you!

Be sure not to over mix the batter as well so the bread isn’t too tough.

I have quite a few other zucchini recipes on the blog for you to check out, just type zucchini in the search bar and enjoy.

I actually used the same GIANT zucchini from the garden as did in my Zucchini Chocolate Chunk Breakfast Cookies and I still have a ton left.

Hallelujah for the summer growing season!
