Grilled Zucchini With Garlic And Lemon Butter Baste Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Cut the zucchini in half crosswise, then slice each half into 3 slices lengthwise, making 6 slices per zucchini.
• Mix the butter, garlic, and parsley in a bowl, and spread the mixture on both sides of each zucchini slice. Sprinkle one side of each slice with Parmesan cheese, and place the slices, cheese sides up, crosswise on the preheated grill to keep them from falling through.
• Grill the zucchini until the cheese has melted and the slices are cooked through and show grill marks, about 8 minutes.

Steps:

• Score cut side of zucchini halves diagonally about 1/4 inch deep at 1 inch intervals.
• Melt butter with lemon juice, lemon-pepper seasoning. garlic powder, oregano, and curry powder in a small heavy saucepan. Season with salt and pepper.
• Brush seasoned butter on cut side of zucchini.
• Grill until charred (browned) on all sides and just beginning to soften, about 12 minutes.
• Arrange zucchini on grill, cut side up, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, close lid of barbecue and cook until cheese just softens, about 1 minute.

Steps:

• Preheat barbecue (medium heat). Score cut side of zucchini halves diagonally about 1/4 inch deep at 1-inch intervals. Melt butter with lemon juice concentrate, lemon-pepper seasoning, garlic powder, oregano, and curry powder in heavy small saucepan. Season with salt and pepper. Brush seasoned butter on cut side of zucchini. Place zucchini on grill and cook until charred on all sides and just beginning to soften, about 12 minutes. If desired, arrange zucchini on grill, cut side up, and sprinkle with cheese; close lid of barbecue and cook until cheese just softens, about 1 minute. Transfer zucchini to platter.

Steps:

• Mix first three ingredients together in shallow bowl and let them sit for around 15 minutes.
• Making sure the grill is nice and hot, dip the zucchini slices into the marinade and place them directly on the grill. Use tongs for the best results.
• Remember to flip them once you feel that one side is nicely browned.
• Cook until desired amount of tenderness is reached, or until both sides have grill marks and can be stabbed easily with a fork.
• Note: If using a smaller zucchini cut into a shape that works for your grill, you wouldn't want the slices to fall between the bars. I usually end up using ridiculously large zucchinis (diameter around 3 inches or larger).

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in heavy medium saucepan. Whisk over medium heat until butter melts and sauce is well blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 3 hours ahead. Cool. Whisk over low heat to rewarm before using.)
• Arrange corn pieces, eggplant rounds and onion wedges in single layer on large baking sheet. arrange bell pepper strips, zucchini spears, asparagus spears and carrot slices in single layer on another large baking sheet. Transfer 1/2 cup sauce to small saucepan and reserve for dipping. Brush both sides of vegetables lightly with some of remaining basting sauce.
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill Corn, eggplant and onion until tender and lightly charred, brushing occasionally with basting sauce and turning with tongs, about 6 minutes. Transfer vegetables to small platter as vegetables finish grilling. Tent with foil to keep warm.
• Grill bell peppers, zucchini, asparagus and carrot until tender and lightly charred, brushing occasionally with basting sauce and turning with tongs, about 6 minutes. Transfer vegetables to same platter, arranging alongside other vegetables. Season all vegetables with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh herb sprigs and lemon.
• Place pan with reserved 1/2 cup sauce over low heat or at edge of barbecue and whisk sauce until warmed through. Transfer to small bowl. Serve vegetables, passing warm dipping sauce separately.
