There’s more to zucchini than chocolate cake.
With these Zucchini Tarts with Feta and Mint, you don’t need to hide your squash.
You can let it shine.
The tarts are almost embarrassingly easy to assemble (especially if you use frozen tart shells), but they are impressive little pastries.
They will work as part of a light lunch or dinner, or in mini form as an appetizer.
Or cold for breakfast.
Maybe there is no such thing as too much zucchini.
