Best 5 Zucchini And Feta Appetizer Recipes

ZUCCHINI-FETA ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet and cook zucchini slices in batches until soft and lightly browned on both sides, 5 to 10 minutes. Add more olive oil as needed. Remove zucchini slices from skillet and drain on paper towels.
• Sprinkle zucchini slices with feta and roll up. Secure each roll with a tooth pick.
• Set zucchini rolls into a dish that is as deep as the rolls are high, and sprinkle with garlic, Italian herbs, and balsamic vinegar. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days.

ZUCCHINI AND FETA APPETIZER

Steps:

• Boil a large pot of salted water (not the dead sea, but put in a couple of TBSP of salt).
• Cut the zucchini in half, lengthwise. Use a teaspoon to scrape out the seeds, to form a little canoe, if you will. Blanche the halves in the boiling water for a minute, remove and let drain on a paper towel for a few minutes.
• Pre-heat your broiler/grill on high.
• Fill each "canoe" with feta cheese (you don't have to use the whole cup up, but put a good amount in each) and broil for a couple of minutes. When the cheese has turned a little brown in spots, remove from the broiler.
• Drizzle each with a TBSP of olive oil, a sprinkle of pepper and salt if you like, and serve with crusty bread (I like ciabatta, rubbed with garlic and a little olive oil.).

GREEK ZUCCHINI & FETA BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add half of the zucchini, half of the onions and 1/2 teaspoon oregano; cook and stir 8-10 minutes or until zucchini is crisp-tender. Remove from pan. Repeat with remaining vegetables. Return previously cooked vegetables to pan. Stir in salt and pepper. Cool slightly., In a large bowl, whisk eggs and baking powder until blended; whisk in yogurt and flour just until blended. Stir in cheese, parsley and zucchini mixture. Transfer to a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with paprika., Bake, uncovered, 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and set. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.

SAUTEED ZUCCHINI WITH FETA

Steps:

• In a 12-inch skillet, heat the oil on low. Slowly saute the zucchini and garlic, with a little salt, until golden and slightly caramelized, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Mix in parsley or basil, cilantro and feta.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI AND FETA TOASTS

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.
