  • BBQ & Grill

Using the hasselback technique--cutting partially into a whole fruit or vegetable every 1/2 inch or so--gives you an easy way to sneak lots of flavor into this healthy zucchini recipe. To bake the zucchini instead of grilling, place in a foil-lined 8-inch-square baking pan and bake at 425°F until tender, 25 to 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh oregano or 1/2 teaspoon dried
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 4 small zucchini (about 1 pound total)
  • ⅓ cup shaved parmesan cheese, large pieces broken in half

Directions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high.
  2. Combine oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  3. Make crosswise cuts every 1/2 inch along each zucchini, slicing almost to the bottom but not all the way through. Gently fan the zucchini to open the cuts wider and place a small piece of Parmesan into each cut. Brush the oil mixture over the top.
  4. Place the zucchini on a double layer of foil and grill, without turning, until browned and tender, 16 to 18 minutes.
