Rosemary Zucchini Sticks Recipes

ZUCCHINI WITH ROSEMARY AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Toss the zucchini into a large frying pan and add the olive oil. Stir.
• Add the rosemary and cook quickly over a high heat until the zucchini are just beginning to soften.
• Add the crushed garlic and season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
• Serve warm as a side dish or on its own with some warm crusty bread.

ZUCCHINI SPEARS WITH ROSEMARY, GARLIC AND LEMON

Steps:

• Put the oil, garlic and rosemary in a high-sided medium skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is deep golden brown, about 8 minutes. Transfer the garlic and rosemary to a serving platter; set aside.
• Raise the heat to medium-high. Sprinkle the zucchini with salt and pepper. When the oil is very hot but not quite smoking, add the zucchini, cut side down. (Be careful: The cut zucchini starts to release water as soon as you salt it, so it might spit a bit in the skillet.) Cook, undisturbed, until the bottom side is deep golden brown, about 2 minutes. Carefully turn to the other cut side and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Now turn the zucchini onto the skin sides, turn off the heat, cover and let sit until very tender (the tip of a paring knife inserted into the zucchini should meet no resistance), 2 to 4 minutes.
• Sprinkle the lemon juice and most of the zest over the zucchini, return the garlic and rosemary to the skillet and use a rubber spatula or tongs to gently turn the zucchini a few times to coat. Add salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the zucchini to the platter and pour the pan juices on top. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.
