Grilled Zucchini Skewers With Jalapeno Yogurt Dipping Sauce Recipes

GRILLED ZUCCHINI SKEWERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
• On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the zucchini strips with the olive oil and salt. Grill the zucchini until just soft, about 45 seconds per side. Don't worry about the grill marks at this point. Remove to a board and lay out the strips.
• Lay the strips of zucchini on a board. Roll 1 cube of cheese in 1 strip of ham, then position the ham and cheese roll on a zucchini strip so the exposed ends of the cheese will be rolled up in the zucchini, preventing it from squeezing out. Roll the zucchini around the ham and cheese roll. Use 2 skewers to secure the roll. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, placing 2 rolls on every pair of skewers. Place the skewers back on the grill and grill until just warmed through and grill marks have formed, about 1 minute per side. Serve warm.

GRILLED BREADED ZUCCHINI WEDGES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan for cooking over medium-high heat until hot, about 15 minutes.
• Mix the panko, thyme, pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon of salt in a medium bowl.
• Mix the yogurt and milk in a medium bowl. Dip the zucchini wedges in the yogurt sauce, then dredge in the panko. Spray the zucchini sticks with nonstick cooking spray and grill over medium-high heat until the zucchini is nicely marked and tender, about 5 minutes per side. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve with lemon wedges.
