Categories     Side Dish

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 medium zucchini (about 8 ounces each)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Juice of 1/2 small lemon
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to high heat (400 to 450 degrees F). Trim off the ends of each zucchini and cut it lengthwise into quarters so that you have four batons per zucchini. Place on a rimmed baking sheet or on a large baking pan.
  • Drizzle the zucchini with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning (if using), salt, and pepper.
  • Place the zucchini on the grill so that one of the cut sides is touching the grates. Grill for 4 minutes, until clear grill marks appear.
  • Flip the zucchini over onto the back (peel) side. Grill for 5 additional minutes. At this point, you can flip it to the remaining ungrilled cut side for 1 to 2 minutes if you'd like grill marks on all surfaces (we usually just serve it as is!). Transfer back to the baking sheet or to a serving platter.
  • Squeeze the lemon over the top and sprinkle with Parmesan. Enjoy!

Time 25m

Yield 14 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 medium zucchini, thinly sliced lengthwise on a mandoline
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 ounces Robiola cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (see Cook's Note)
4 thin slices Black Forest ham, sliced into 3/4-inch strips

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the zucchini strips with the olive oil and salt. Grill the zucchini until just soft, about 45 seconds per side. Don't worry about the grill marks at this point. Remove to a board and lay out the strips.
  • Lay the strips of zucchini on a board. Roll 1 cube of cheese in 1 strip of ham, then position the ham and cheese roll on a zucchini strip so the exposed ends of the cheese will be rolled up in the zucchini, preventing it from squeezing out. Roll the zucchini around the ham and cheese roll. Use 2 skewers to secure the roll. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, placing 2 rolls on every pair of skewers. Place the skewers back on the grill and grill until just warmed through and grill marks have formed, about 1 minute per side. Serve warm.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI AND FETA TOASTS



Grilled Zucchini and Feta Toasts image

Though its flavor is subtle, zucchini absorbs seasonings readily, and develops deep complexity when grilled. In this recipe, the grilled squash is doused with a flavorful oil made with garlic, cumin and coriander. If you have extra time, marinate the grilled zucchini pieces in the spice oil for up to 24 hours to help build flavor. You can serve the dish hot off the grill, or prepare in advance, then serve at room temperature.

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, weeknight, appetizer, main course

Time 30m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 medium zucchini (about 1 pound), trimmed and halved lengthwise
1/2 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 thick slices country or sourdough bread
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, lightly crushed
1 teaspoon coriander seeds, lightly crushed
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Grilled bread, for serving
3 ounces feta, crumbled into large pieces
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high and brush the grates clean, if grilling outdoors.
  • With a small spoon, scrape the seeds from the middle of zucchini halves and discard. Rub zucchini with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place zucchini halves onto grill, cut-sides down, and cook until charred on both sides, turning halfway through, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer grilled zucchini onto a cutting board, let cool slightly then cut into bite-size pieces.
  • While zucchini grills, brush bread on both sides with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Grill until lightly charred on both sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter.
  • While zucchini and bread grill, prepare the spice oil: Heat remaining 1/4 cup oil in a small saucepan over medium-low until hot. Stir in the garlic, cumin seeds, coriander seeds and red-pepper flakes, and remove from heat. The residual heat from the oil will cook the garlic and spices. Transfer spice oil to a large bowl, add grilled zucchini and toss to combine.
  • Spoon zucchini over grilled bread and top with large pieces of feta. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing on top.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini. Look for firm, medium-sized zucchini with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid zucchini that are too large or have blemishes, as these may be bitter.
  • Slice the zucchini evenly. This will help them cook evenly on the grill.
  • Marinate the zucchini. Marinating the zucchini in olive oil, herbs, and spices will help them to absorb flavor and stay moist during grilling.
  • Grill the zucchini over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Cook the zucchini until they are tender. You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork.
  • Serve the zucchini immediately. Grilled zucchini is best enjoyed fresh off the grill.

Conclusion:

Grilled zucchini is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed all summer long. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, this recipe is sure to become a favorite. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a side dish for a special occasion, grilled zucchini is a great option. So fire up your grill and get ready to enjoy this tasty and versatile vegetable!
