Grilled Zucchini Boats


With fresh zucchini and summer squash  featured at local farmers' markets, this is a nice way to serve it.

  • 1/2-1 zucchini per person (use the smaller ones)
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil mixed with 1 clove minced garlic and 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • halved grape tomatoes
  • basil - fresh, if you have it, or dried
  • Salt and pepper
  • parmesan and mozzarella cheeses
  1. Cut each zucchini/summer squash in half lengthwise.
  2. Cut out center, carefully scooping out seeded part with a spoon. Be careful to keep bottoms intact.
  3. Brush cut sides of zucchini with oil/garlic mixture.
  4. Line up halved grape tomatoes in each zucchini half.
  5. Sprinkle with chopped basil, and pepper
  6. Mix grated mozzarella and parmesan cheeses together and sprinkle over tomatoes.
  7. Grill over medium heat until zucchini is tender and cheese is melted.
