I, too, have some wicked insomnia right now. Score. I was thinking..
- raw zucchini "pasta"
- shake and bake / panko baked tofu
- slice the zucchini super thin to replicate lasagna noodles and make lasagna or a casserole that way
- zucchini, carrot bread/muffins (savoury or sweet! Add in chocolate chips or coconut?)
- juice them
- zucchini "roll ups" (like sushi but without the seaweed, zucchini on the outside)
- stew or soup!

Maybe a 'tagine'? I've put the recipe I use below. It's served with cous cous and the olives would go really well with it

200g dried chickpeas
1 red pepper, deseeded and thickly sliced
1 onion, chopped
1peeled and chopped sweet potato
2 courgettes, cut into bite-sized pieces
10 chopped dates
salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus a drizzle to serve
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cumin
500g carton passata
1 tsp harissa paste
handful fresh mint or coriander

Courgette [zucchini] is rather lovely when battered and baked - here's a video - and used to scoop up dips.

Beetroot's gorgeous roasted, hot or cold. With carrot, it makes a lovely hot or cold summer soup (spuds, onion and garlic could be thrown in).
