Broiled Zucchini With Herbs Food

ZUCCHINI WITH FETA AND HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Place zucchini on grilling tray (if desired), brush with olive oil, and grill until tender and slightly charred, about 3 or 4 minutes per side.
• Toss in a bowl with the rest of the ingredients and serve warm.

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.

SPICY GRILLED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Prepare a medium-hot grill. Season the zucchini with salt and pepper, and toss with the olive oil. Grill on each side until the slices are tender and there are light marks on the sides. Transfer to a platter, and sprinkle with the red pepper flakes and the herbs. Douse with lemon juice if desired, and serve.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI AND LEEKS WITH WALNUTS AND HERBS

Steps:

• Prepare grill for medium-high heat. Toast walnuts in a dry small skillet over medium heat, tossing often, until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Chop very coarsely. Toss warm walnuts with garlic, lemon juice, and 3 tablespoons oil in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper.
• 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.

ROASTED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a cooling rack with nonstick spray and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
• In a small bowl, stir together the Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
• Place the zucchini in a large bowl. Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with the Parmesan mixture. Toss to coat, then arrange the zucchini on top of the cooling rack on the prepared baking sheet, being careful not to overlap the spears.
• Place in the oven and bake until the zucchini is tender, about 12 to 15 minutes. Turn the oven to broil. Cook until the Parmesan is lightly crisp on top, about 2 to 3 minutes. Don't walk away! The second you stop watching the cheese, it will decide to burn.
• Remove the zucchini from the oven and immediately squeeze the lemon juice over the top. Sprinkle with herbs. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

BROILED ZUCCHINI WITH ROSEMARY BUTTER

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the first seven ingredients; set aside. Cut zucchini lengthwise into 1/2-in. slices. Place on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Broil 4 in. from the heat for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, or until crisp-tender. Spread with rosemary butter; serve immediately.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI AND FRESH HERBS

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium heat.
• Trim and discard ends of zucchini. Cut each zucchini lengthwise in half; place in large bowl.
• Add dressing; mix lightly.
• Grill 12 min. or until zucchini is crisp-tender, turning after 7 min.
• Transfer zucchini to serving dish. Squeeze juice from lemon half over zucchini; sprinkle with herbs.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI AND HERB PIZZA

Steps:

• For the dough: Put the water and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer and sprinkle the yeast on top; let rest until the mixture bubbles, about 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together the flour and salt in a large bowl to break up any lumps. When the yeast is ready, add the flour mixture and olive oil and mix, using dough hook, on the lowest speed until the dough looks shredded, about 1 to 2 minutes. Increase the speed to medium and continue to mix until the dough is smooth and very elastic, (you should be able to stretch it 2 to 3 inches without breaking), about 6 to 10 minutes.
• Turn the dough out of the mixer, form it into a ball, and put into a large, oiled mixing bowl. Turn to coat the dough in the oil then cover with a clean, damp dishtowel, and let rest in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 30 to 45 minutes. (Alternatively, refrigerate the dough and let rise 12 to 24 hours before using.) Punch the dough down and shape as desired.
• For the zucchini: Heat the grill to medium-high (about 375 degrees F) and rub the grate with a towel dipped in oil. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and the zucchini to a large bowl and toss to coat. Grill the zucchini, covered, turning rarely, until tender and charred, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Transfer the cooked zucchini to a bowl and add the red wine vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Season with the salt and pepper, to taste, and toss to coat. Set aside until ready to use.
• For the pizza: Heat the grill to medium-high (about 375 degrees F) and rub the grate with a towel dipped in oil.
• Oil your hands, put half of the dough (about 1 pound) on a piece of parchment paper, and press the dough into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Drizzle the dough with oil. Lay the dough, oiled side down, on the grill and remove the parchment paper. Grill the dough until golden brown, toasted, and grill marks form on the bottom, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the dough, brush with 1 tablespoon oil and top with half of the mozzarella. Cover with half of the zucchini and half of the goat cheese. Close the grill, checking and rotating as needed to avoid burning, until dough is lightly charred and cheese is melted, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Transfer the pizza to a cutting board, top with half of the basil leaves, and half of the sun-dried tomatoes, and serve. Repeat to make a second pizza.

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!

BROILED ZUCCHINI WITH HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, scallions, mint, thyme, salt, and pepper.
• Toss the zucchini and tomatoes with this mixture until evenly coated.
• Place the vegetables on a baking sheet and broil for 8 to 10 minutes, until the zucchini is just tender.
• Serve immediately.

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.
