Grilled Garlic Marinated Baby Zucchini Recipes

GRILLED GARLIC-MARINATED BABY ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• In a blender blend oil with garlic cloves, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and black pepper.
• Using a fork or a wooden skewer pierce holes all over the zucchini.
• Place in a glass shallow dish (I use my 11 x 7-inch baking dish to marinate).
• Pour the oil over all over the zucchini then turn with hands to coat.
• Allow to stand for 1-2 hours at room temperature.
• Heat grill to medium-high heat.
• Grill zucchini until tender and golden in spots turning occasionally (this should take about 6-7 minutes).
• Transfer to serving plate then sprinkle with a little kosher salt.
• Delicious!

GRILLED MARINATED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• In a small bowl whisk together the garlic paste, the lemon juice, the vinegar, and pepper to taste and whisk in the oil. In a shallow baking dish large enough to hold the zucchini in one layer combine the zucchini, halved lengthwise, and the marinade and let the zucchini marinate, covered and chilled, turning them several times, overnight. Grill the zucchini on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals for 8 minutes and brush them with some of the marinade. Turn the zucchini, grill them for 6 to 8 minutes, or until they are tender, and transfer them to a work surface. (Alternatively the zucchini may be grilled in a ridged grill pan.) Slice the zucchini diagonally.
