Garlic-Parmesan Hasselback Zucchini
from Eating Well
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh oregano or 1/2 teaspoon dried
- 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
- 4 small zucchini (about 1 pound total)
- 1/3 cup shaved Parmesan cheese, large pieces broken in half
Directions:
- Preheat grill to medium-high.
- Combine oil, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
- Make crosswise cuts every ½ 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.
- Place the zucchini on a double layer of foil and grill, without turning, until browned and tender, 16 to 18 minutes. Makes 4 servings
