Balsamic Grilled Zucchini Recipes

BALSAMIC GRILLED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Preheat grill, or a grill pan, over medium-high heat. I like to use my George Foreman Grill.
• Trim the zucchini edges and slice it crosswise into ½-inch-thick rounds.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, kosher salt, black pepper and garlic powder.
• Brush the zucchini rounds with the mixture, on both sides. Set aside any remaining marinade.
• Grill the zucchini slices until just tender, 3-4 minutes on each side. In my dual contact George Foreman grill, I grill 3 minutes on the first side, then 2 more minutes on the second side.
• Brush the grilled zucchini slices with the remaining marinade and serve.

Steps:

• Toss zucchini with oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Arrange zucchini in 1 layer in 2 shallow baking pans (1 inch deep). Broil 1 pan of zucchini 3 to 5 inches from heat, without turning, until browned in spots and beginning to soften, 4 to 6 minutes. Drizzle 2 tablespoons vinegar over broiled zucchini and shake pan a few times, then continue to broil until most of vinegar is evaporated, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese over broiled zucchini and broil until cheese is melted, about 1 minute more. Cook remaining pan of zucchini in same manner. Cool to room temperature and serve sprinkled with pine nuts.
