Grilled zucchini, tomatoes, garlic and mozzarella cheese sounds like a winning combo. Let me tell you, it was. I found this idea on Pinterest and kind of adapted it. I used regular tomatoes, because that’s what I had. I also forgot to add the bread crumbs and parmesan, plus I cooked them on the grill instead of in the oven. Overall, I will make these again, and right soon.
zucchini, washed and halved length-wise
olive oil
garlic salt
pepper
tomatoes, sliced
mozzarella cheese, shredded
Preheat your grill (or your oven) to at least 400 degrees.
Use a spoon and run it down the center of the zucchini to remove the seeds. You’ll make a ditch for the tomatoes to sit in. Mix a little bit of olive oil with a healthy dose of garlic salt and pepper. Use a brush and brush it all over the flesh of the zucchini. Next, layer your tomatoes along the ditch.
Transfer them to the grill, using a piece of foil underneath them. Turn the heat to low, close the lid and grill for about 20 minutes. Sprinkle cheese over the top and let them cook for another 10 minutes or so. The original recipe called for bread crumbs and parmesan, so add those with the mozzarella if you choose.
Enjoy. Yum.
How did this work with David not liking tomatoes? Most people in my house don't like them, but I'd love to make this for the few of us who do!
ReplyDeleteWell, actually, he doesn't much like zucchini, either. He ate an obligatory piece and didn't complain. I ate most of it and thoroughly enjoyed it.
