Low Fat Grilled Garlic 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.

LOW FAT GRILLED GARLIC ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Mix garlic cloves, pepper flakes, and basil; rub all over zucchini.
• Place on the grill and cook for 5 minutes on each side.

GRILLED GARLIC PARMESAN ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Cut the zucchini in half crosswise, then slice each half into 3 slices lengthwise, making 6 slices per zucchini.
• Mix the butter, garlic, and parsley in a bowl, and spread the mixture on both sides of each zucchini slice. Sprinkle one side of each slice with Parmesan cheese, and place the slices, cheese sides up, crosswise on the preheated grill to keep them from falling through.
• Grill the zucchini until the cheese has melted and the slices are cooked through and show grill marks, about 8 minutes.
