Grilled Zucchini - Such an easy recipe for yum!

From Daryl aka Avery:

Don’t you love summer? I adore the way the days can be hot and the evenings cool (at least in Los Angeles they are). This kind of weather inspires me to get out of the kitchen and cook outside. To grill. There are tons of grill cookbooks filled with fabulous sauces, but there’s one thing I really love to cook. Grilled vegetables. They’re so simple. 

I love zucchini year-round. I’ll stir fry it or make it into zucchini zircles, LINK BELOW... (dipped in flour and dredged in egg and Parmesan), or I’ll chop it and top it with Parmesan and a dollop of sour cream. 

ZUCCHINI ZIRCLES

 ZUCCHINI ZIRCLE RECIPE 

But during the summer, I cut zucchini lengthwise, brush it with olive oil, and set it on the grill while cooking my main course. Grilling vegetables takes minutes.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI

Ingredients:

1 zucchini per person

3-4 tablespoons grated Parmesan per person

olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

fresh herbs

Directions:

Rinse zucchini. Slice off ends and then slice lengthwise (about 4-5 thick slices). Brush both sides with olive oil.

When your main meal is about 4 minutes from being done, set the zucchini on a medium-hot part of the grill. Cook 2 minutes. Using tongs, flip the zucchini. Cook another 2 minutes.

Serve immediately, dusted with Parmesan cheese.

If you’d like, sprinkle with salt and pepper and fresh crushed herbs. I particularly like basil on zucchini.
