Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchini
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 medium roma tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 6 leaves fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat.
Wash the zucchini and slice them lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick planks.
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper.
Brush the zucchini planks on both sides with the olive oil mixture.
Cut the roma tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices and place them in a separate bowl.
Drizzle the tomatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
Place the zucchini planks on the preheated grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until grill marks appear and the zucchini becomes tender but not mushy.
Remove the zucchini from the grill and arrange them on a serving platter.
Grill the tomatoes for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly caramelized, then arrange them over the zucchini.
Sprinkle the dish with grated Parmesan cheese while the vegetables are still warm, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.
Tear the fresh basil leaves and scatter them on top as a garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
