Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 medium zucchini (about 2 1/2 pounds), trimmed, halved lengthwise
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 tablespoon frozen unsweetened lemon juice concentrate or 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat barbecue (medium heat). Score cut side of zucchini halves diagonally about 1/4 inch deep at 1-inch intervals. Melt butter with lemon juice concentrate, lemon-pepper seasoning, garlic powder, oregano, and curry powder in heavy small saucepan. Season with salt and pepper. Brush seasoned butter on cut side of zucchini. Place zucchini on grill and cook until charred on all sides and just beginning to soften, about 12 minutes. If desired, arrange zucchini on grill, cut side up, and sprinkle with cheese; close lid of barbecue and cook until cheese just softens, about 1 minute. Transfer zucchini to platter.

Tips:

  • Choose tender and young zucchini. They will grill quickly and evenly.
  • Cut the zucchini spears into uniform sizes. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Marinate the zucchini spears before grilling. This will help them absorb the flavors of the herbs and spices.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill. Leave some space between the zucchini spears so that they can cook evenly.
  • Grill the zucchini spears over medium heat. This will help them cook through without burning.
  • Serve the zucchini spears immediately. They are best when they are hot off the grill.

Conclusion:

Zucchini spears with rosemary, garlic, and lemon are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by everyone. They are easy to make and can be grilled, roasted, or baked. Whether you are entertaining guests or just looking for a quick and easy meal, these zucchini spears are sure to please.
