Equipment
- Frying Pan
- Grater
Ingredients
- 4 small Zucchini
- 2 T Olive Oil to brush zucchini
- 2 T Greek Seasoning to taste
- 3/4 cup Feta Cheese crumbled
Instructions
- Wash zucchini, trim ends, and cut each small zucchini into four lengthwise pieces and each larger zucchini into six lengthwise pieces.
- If you have larger zucchinis with quite a few seeds, you can trim those seeds off along the edge.
- Brush both sides of zucchini with olive oil and sprinkle generously with Greek Seasoning.
- Preheat the Stovetop Grill Pan over medium high heat so it's hot when you put the zucchini on and you can get nice grill marks.
- Lay zucchini crosswise to the grill grates with flat side down and cook about 3 minutes. (Lift up the edge to see if you have grill marks.)
- Turn zucchini so the other flat side is down and cook about 3 minutes more. (Check again for grill marks.)
- Then turn zucchini so the green skin side is down and cook 3-4 minutes more, or until it's done to the desired tenderness when you pierce it with a fork.
- Arrange the Greek Zucchini on a serving platter, sprinkle with Feta Cheese, and enjoy!
Notes
- Storage: Store leftover grilled zucchini in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
- Freezing: You can freeze grilled zucchini, but it might lose some texture. It’s best enjoyed fresh.
- Pairing: Serve the grilled zucchini with grilled chicken or fish for a complete meal.
- Variations: Experiment with different seasonings like Italian herbs or chili flakes for a twist on flavor.
- Presentation: Drizzle with balsamic glaze or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving for added flavor.
