Summer squash has been really yummy lately. For dinner tonight I made some beautiful zucchini. The colors are just gorgeous when they are grilled and they taste so good. This is a simple and easy recipe that has great flavor and takes no time at all. I used a grill pan but you can totally use a real grill especially if you're already grilling other things. Also, in this recipe I use garlic powder--normally I'm not a huge fan of substituting fresh when it comes to garlic, however in this particular recipe I think it just makes sense. You can cut the zucchini however you want but when grilling I like to cut them lengthwise because it looks so darn pretty.
serves about 2-3 people
1 large zucchini or 2 small
3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano
Preparation
Preheat grill pan over medium high heat. Wash the zucchini well then pat dry. Slice the zucchini lengthwise cutting it into 1/4 inch slices. Drizzle the zucchini with olive oil, then sprinkle each side with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Grill the zucchini in the pan over medium high heat for about 1 minute on each side. Careful not to move the pieces too much so they can have nice even grill marks. Remove the zucchini from the pan and top with the freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano. Serve warm or room temperature.
