Grilled Zucchini And Fresh Herbs Recipes

GRILLED ZUCCHINI ROLLS WITH HERBS AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Discard the outermost slices of zucchini and brush the rest of the slices with the oil on both sides. Season with salt and pepper. Place on a preheated grill or grill pan for about 4 minutes on each side, or until tender.
• In a small bowl combine the goat cheese, parsley leaves and lemon juice, mashing with a fork.
• Put 1/2 teaspoon of the cheese mixture about 1/2-inch from the end of a zucchini slice. Top with a few spinach leaves and 1 small, or half of a large basil leaf. Roll up and place seam side down on a platter. Repeat with the rest of the zucchini slices.

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!

GRILLED ZUCCHINI WITH HERB SALT AND FETA

Steps:

• For the herb salt: Combine the salt, oregano and thyme in a small bowl and mix to blend.
• For the grilled zucchini: Brush the zucchini planks on both sides with olive oil and sprinkle on both sides with some of the herb salt. Transfer the zucchini to a grill pan set over medium heat and cook until tender, about 5 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove the zucchini to a serving plate and sprinkle with the feta.

• Brush leeks and zucchini with remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill vegetables, turning often, until tender and charred in spots, 5-8 minutes for leeks, 8-10 minutes for zucchini.
• Transfer vegetables to a cutting board. Trim roots from leeks and cut leeks and zucchini into bite-size pieces. Add vegetables and parsley to bowl with walnuts and toss to combine; season vegetables with salt, pepper, and more lemon juice, if desired.
