Place a steamer basket in the bottom of a medium saucepan and fill with enough water to just reach the bottom of the steamer.
Evenly spread out zucchini in the basket and scatter thyme over the top.
Cover tightly and steam over medium heat until very tender, about 10 minutes.
Carefully transfer zucchini to a food processor.
