Broiled Zucchini With Rosemary Butter Recipes

BROILED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Wash off zucchini, cut off ends and split lengthwise.
• Lay the split pieces of zucchini cut side up in a lightly greased baking dish.
• Pour over the butter or oil.
• Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the cut edge.
• Sprinkle with spices.
• Broil just until the zucchini slices get a lovely light brown on the top.
• Remove from the broiler, it will be cooked ala-dente' with about half of the crunch still in it.
• It is easiest to eat with a sharp knife handy to cut into small chunks for each bite -- but make sure you get some of the spices and cheese with each bite -- hm-m-m-m.

BROILED ZUCCHINI AND POTATOES WITH PARMESAN CRUST

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the potatoes and cook until just tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and let cool. When cool, cut the potatoes in half.
• Place a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the butter, garlic, thyme and rosemary and let cook until the butter melts, about 2 minutes. Meanwhile, season the cut sides of the zucchini and potatoes with salt and pepper. Carefully place the zucchini and potatoes cut side down in the melted butter. Let them cook until golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place the browed zucchini and potatoes on the baking sheet cut side up. Sprinkle the tops with the Parmesan. Place in the broiler until the cheese is golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and serve.
