Seen a different rating somewhere else?+
Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores zucchini at a serving of 1/3 cup chopped (65 g); at 1/2 cup chopped (100 g) and above it belongs in the high band. A source quoting the larger serve will call it high, and one quoting the smaller will call it low — the same food, measured at two different amounts.

How much is OK?
This food's verdict depends on the serving. The bands below show where the load builds, group by group.
Fructans
Peeling or cooking changes little; the usual trap is stacking, since spiralised zucchini plus zucchini in the sauce clears 100 g in one plate.
Bands reflect published FODMAP research for typical preparations — individual tolerance varies, especially mid-reintroduction.
