Summer zucchini abounds and I have a delicious new recipe for you, grilled zucchini recipe.
If you’re wondering what to do with zucchini, I have a new recipe for you and some old recipes to show you the versatility of zucchini.
Grilled Zucchini Recipe Stovetop to Oven
The zucchini is split down the middle, cut crosshair style, brushed with garlic olive oil and grilled on top of the stove. Then switched to the oven to make sure it softens. Once out of the oven, it’s sprinkled with either parmesan or pecorino romano and served immediately.
The zucchini caramelizes and is just delicious. Eaten as a side dish, but you could even serve this as a stand up starter for guests. Just slice into bite sized pieces.
How to Choose Zucchini
Ideally, you want to choose smaller slim zucchini. Large zucchini are bland and watery. Look for glossy skin and no dents. Most importantly, zucchini should be firm.
Is Zucchini Good For You?
Zucchini has many health benefits. Low in calories and carbs, it’s rich in anti-oxidants, minerals and vitamins, particularly Vitamin A. Zucchini is also helpful for digestion.
