Lemon Rosemary Zucchini Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Prepare two 4x9-inch loaf pans, either coating with butter or spraying with baking spray.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and rosemary.
• Beat the eggs in a mixer (or by hand) until frothy. Beat in all of the applesauce. Beat in the melted butter and olive oil. Beat in the Splenda. Stir in the lemon zest and grated zucchini.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet, a third at a time, stirring after each incorporation.
• Divide batter/dough into two loaf pans.
• Bake in a 350°F oven for 45 to 50 minutes. Test after 40 minutes. If you gently press down on the surface of the loaf, it should bounce back, and a bamboo skewer inserted into the center should come out clean.
• Remove from the oven. Let cool for a few minutes and then remove the loaves from their pans to cool on a rack.
