GRILLED ZUCCHINI WITH PARMESAN



Grilled Zucchini with Parmesan image

Grilled zucchini is one of the great food joys of summer. In this easy recipe, the crunchy, bright breadcrumbs offset the sweet, soft zucchini in the most delightful way. Serve this healthy side with grilled chicken, fish or shrimp or as part of a vegetarian summer meal. This recipe is easily doubled or tripled if you have a bumper crop of zucchini.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper, or to taste
½ cup whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs
2 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated (about 1/2 cup)
1 ½ teaspoons fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1 teaspoon lemon zest
¼ teaspoon salt
2 large zucchini, halved lengthwise
Lemon wedges for serving

Steps:

  • Combine oil, garlic and crushed red pepper in a small skillet over low heat. Cook, stirring often, until the garlic is softened and light golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool for 5 minutes. Stir in panko, Parmesan, thyme, lemon zest and salt.
  • Preheat grill to very high (at least 500 degrees F). Oil the grill grates, using tongs to hold an oil-soaked paper towel. Place zucchini, cut-sides down, on the oiled grates; grill, uncovered, until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Flip the zucchini so they are cut-side up; spoon the panko mixture evenly on top. Grill, covered, until the topping is golden brown in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully transfer to a serving platter. Serve with lemon wedges.

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!

GRILLED ZUCCHINI



Grilled Zucchini image

Naturally suited to grilling, zucchini is both juicy and mild, which means it stays moist even when it's hit with fire, and it soaks up the smoky flavors of the grill in the short time it cooks. Maximize surface area - and convenience - by cutting the zucchini into sturdy planks, which cook through quickly without slipping through the grates while still retaining some texture. Brush them with olive oil, season enthusiastically with salt and pepper and grill until crisp-tender to enjoy them as a simple side, tossed into a salad or tucked into sandwiches. If you'd like to show them off, arrange them over some ricotta, then dot with herbs, capers and lemon and serve with grilled bread for an easy seasonal supper. The best summer recipes allow you to embrace technique but customize at whim.

Categories     easy, weekday, vegetables, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 large zucchini (about 8 ounces each), cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch planks
Extra-virgin olive oil, as needed
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup fresh ricotta (optional)
Fresh basil leaves (or other tender herbs, such as dill, mint or oregano), chopped capers and lemon, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare the grill for direct grilling and heat over high.
  • Working on a large baking sheet, brush the zucchini all over with oil, then season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Once the grill is heated, add the zucchini to the grates in an even layer, leaving about 1 inch between to avoid crowding. Cook, uncovered, until grill-marked and crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes per side. (The zucchini should tenderize in just the amount of time it takes to develop grill marks.)
  • In a small bowl, stir the ricotta, if using, with a couple tablespoons of water until extra creamy; season with salt and pepper. Spread the ricotta mixture on a platter, then top with the grilled zucchini, piling it organically to gain some height. Though you need no garnish, you can top with fresh herbs, capers, a flurry of lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice if you are feeling fancy. Drizzle with olive oil and serve warm or at room temperature.
