Grilled Zucchini Goat Cheese Honey (Print)
Charred zucchini finished with goat cheese, fresh basil and a honey drizzle—simple, flavorful and ideal for warm days.
# What You'll Need:
01 -
5 medium zucchinis
02 -
Salt
03 -
1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
04 -
1/3 cup goat cheese, crumbled
05 -
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
06 -
1.5 tablespoons honey
07 -
Salt and pepper, to taste
# How to Make It:
01 -
Remove ends from zucchini and slice into 1/2-inch pieces, lengthwise. Spread sliced zucchini onto a plate or cutting board, and apply salt liberally. Set aside for 20 minutes to allow excess water to drain out of zucchini. Pat dry using a clean cloth or paper towel.
02 -
Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high. Brush olive oil or avocado oil onto both sides of each zucchini slice.
03 -
Place slices of zucchini onto the grill. Cook for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway. Zucchini is done when it is tender and grill marks appear. Be sure not to over-cook!
04 -
Remove zucchini from the grill and serve on a large plate. Sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese and freshly chopped basil. Drizzle honey over top and season with salt and pepper, as desired.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Grilled zucchini is best enjoyed immediately, but leftovers can be kept for about 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge. They taste great cold or added to a salad, pasta, or sandwich!
