Grilled Zucchini

3.1

(2)

Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 6

Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds zucchini (about 4 medium), cut diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick slices

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare grill.

    Step 2

    In a metal measure heat oil over low heat until warm. (Heating thins oil, making it easier to thinly coat zucchini.) In a bowl drizzle oil over zucchini, tossing to coat, and season with salt and pepper. Grill zucchini, in batches if necessary, on a lightly oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals 2 to 4 minutes on each side, or until lightly charred and just tender.

  2. Step 3

    Serve zucchini warm or at room temperature.

Smothered Italian Sausage
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.
Charred Vegetable Ragù
This sauce is slightly magical. The texture cloaks pasta much like a traditional meat sauce does, and the flavors are deep and rich, but it’s actually vegan!
Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Spaghetti)
Spaghetti is a common variation in modern Thai cooking. It’s so easy to work with and absorbs the garlicky, spicy notes of pad kee mao well.
Gigante Beans With Seaweed Salmoriglio
Salmoriglio is a Mediterranean sauce with herbs, garlic, and olive oil. In this version, kelp is used as the base of the sauce.
Moo Ping (Thai Grilled Pork Skewers)
This version of pork skewers is made in the oven, which tastes just as good, but you could always throw these on the grill for a version closer to the original.
