Kittencals Grilled Zucchini Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare the grill for direct grilling and heat over high.
• Working on a large baking sheet, brush the zucchini all over with oil, then season generously with salt and pepper.
• Once the grill is heated, add the zucchini to the grates in an even layer, leaving about 1 inch between to avoid crowding. Cook, uncovered, until grill-marked and crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes per side. (The zucchini should tenderize in just the amount of time it takes to develop grill marks.)
• In a small bowl, stir the ricotta, if using, with a couple tablespoons of water until extra creamy; season with salt and pepper. Spread the ricotta mixture on a platter, then top with the grilled zucchini, piling it organically to gain some height. Though you need no garnish, you can top with fresh herbs, capers, a flurry of lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice if you are feeling fancy. Drizzle with olive oil and serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Slice the zucchini into 1/2 to 3/4-inch slices (or as desired).
• In a large bowl whisk together the salad dressing with olive oil and minced garlic.
• Place the zucchini slices in the bowl and toss to coat.
• Place on a plate, then sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper.
• Allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
• Place onto a hot grill.
• Grill for about 4-5 minutes or until nice grill marks appear and the slices are slightly limp.
• Remove to a plate then sprinkle lightly with kosher or table salt.
