Best Grilled Zucchini With Mushrooms Recipes

GRILLED ZUCCHINI AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat your grill to med/high (400˚F).
• Place all of your sliced veggies into a large mixing bowl.
• In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together: 1/4 cup olive oil and 3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar.
• Drizzle your dressing over sliced veggies and toss/ mix to evenly coat all of your veggies. Sprinkle with salt & pepper to taste and let sit 10 minutes while your grill heats up.
• Place all of your vegetables in a grilling basket and barbecue at 400˚F for about 12 minutes or until veggies are tender and cooked through, tossing every few times to ensure even cooking and caramelizing.
• Add more salt to taste. Remove from heat and serve right away and garnish with fresh parsley, chives, or even basil.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI

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!

BALSAMIC GRILLED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium-low heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Brush zucchini with olive oil. Sprinkle garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt over zucchini.
• Cook on preheated grill until beginning to brown, 3-4 minutes per side. Brush balsamic vinegar over the zucchini and continue cooking 1 minute more. Serve immediately.

MAIN CHALLENGE: RED CHILI CITRUS MUSHROOMS WITH GRILLED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions and mushrooms and saute until golden brown. Season with salt, to taste.
• Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl, combine the orange juice, lime juice and chili powder. Add juices to the mushroom mixture along with the chicken stock. Simmer until liquid is reduced by two-thirds. Stir in the honey and keep warm over low heat.
• Heat a grill or grill pan to medium.
• Rub the zucchini slices with the cumin and season with salt. Grill the zucchini, marking both sides, but keeping the slices still firm. Remove to a cutting board. Chop the zucchini into 1-inch pieces and arrange on a large platter. Top with the mushroom mixture and sprinkle with cilantro and goat cheese.

GRILLED MUSHROOMS WITH CHIVE BUTTER

Steps:

• Prepare the herbed butter: In a medium bowl, combine the butter, chives, garlic, lemon zest, oregano, salt and pepper. Using a large fork, mash to combine. Using a spatula, transfer the herbed butter to a piece of parchment paper, and roll the butter into a tight cylinder, twisting the edges of the paper on both sides to seal. Transfer to the refrigerator. (Butter can be made in advance and will keep for up to 2 weeks.)
• Heat your grill to high. (This is crucial to ensure that the mushrooms char.)
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, prepare the rub: Combine the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and smoked paprika. (Makes 2 1/2 teaspoons.)
• Prepare the mushrooms: Remove the stems and wipe the tops clean using slightly moistened paper towels. Slice each into 3/4-inch-thick strips. Transfer them to a large baking sheet, one sliced mushroom cap at a time. (Keeping the same mushrooms together will make for a more uniform appearance once you thread the mushrooms onto skewers.) Brush the sliced mushrooms all over with the olive oil, turning to coat.
• Sprinkle the rub all over the mushrooms, turning them until seasoned on all sides.
• Thread the mushrooms onto skewers: To make 4 planks, you'll need eight 10-inch skewers, using about 1/4 of the mushrooms for each plank. (You can use skewers of any length with any number of mushroom slices.) Insert a skewer through the top left side of one mushroom piece and push it through the bottom. Insert a second skewer through the top right side of the mushroom. Gently push the mushroom up toward the top of the skewers, working each side little by little, and leave at least a 1-inch handle at the top. Repeat, keeping the both skewers parallel, threading as many mushroom pieces as will fit, and leaving at least a 1-inch handle at the bottom. (Don't be too precious about threading the mushrooms. Some will break, but thread them securely and they'll still taste delicious after grilling.)
• Once you've threaded all your mushrooms, transfer them to the hot grill, flat-sides down over the flame. Cook on one side until charred, 6 to 7 minutes, then flip and cook the other side for another 6 to 7 minutes. (Don't undercook them. Grilling mushrooms until they are visibly charred concentrates their flavor and results in a pleasantly hearty, chewier texture.)
• Serve hot, topped with slices of compound butter. (You'll have more butter than you need, but any leftover butter will keep, refrigerated, for up to 2 weeks. Use on grilled or roasted vegetables, pasta, bread or rice.)

ROASTED ZUCCHINI, MUSHROOMS, AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place all of the ingredients in a large bowl and toss to mix well.
• Coat an 11x13-inch roasting pan or the bottom of a broiler pan with nonstick cooking spray and spread vegetable mixture over the bottom of the pan.
• Bake for 15 minutes.
• Stir the vegetables and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes, until they are tender and nicely browned.
• Serve hot.

GRILLED MUSHROOM-ZUCCHINI CHEESE SANDWICH

• Remove vegetables and rolls from grill. Cut mushrooms into thin strips. Separate onions into rings.
• Spread rolls with reduced-fat cream cheese; fill with arugula, grilled vegetables, tomatoes and cheese.
