The Only Zucchini Recipe You Need

Here's my favorite way to cut and cook a zucchini, and you've probably never tried it before.
1. Wash and trim the ends off of your zucchini.
2. Cut it in half, lengthwise.
3. Now it's time to score it diagonally in both directions.
4. Heat your pan to medium heat, and pour in some good olive oil and some fresh smashed garlic.
5. Lay your zucchini score-side down, and let it caramelize for a few minutes. Don't touch it.
6. Once that face is nice and golden, flip it over, add a pad of butter, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
7. Baste your zucchini for a minute or two, and carefully place it in a pan and pour the garlic and olive oil over it.
You'll be left with the most flavorful, perfectly-cooked zucchini you've ever had.
Definitely give it a try.

Made this Zucchini, recipe this evening and it was so so yummy !!! 😋 Thanks Mike

[@CecilHarris-KingofKings]

This is what people don't understand a recipe is basic instructions or guidelines. No matter if you went to school or not. Cooking originally was and, for the most part, still is minimalistic. It has been for centuries. From the story of how restaurants first began. To even the first time meat got placed on the fire.

[@lizpowell6371]

Too right!

[@Amr_D]

get out of your country and you'll see how inaccurate you are. go travel dude

I grill them like this. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle on whatever seasoning sounds good at the time. Same with small eggplant, yellow summer squash, etc.

[@Coyote27981]

You can do a similar preparation with eggplant aswell. Its great. Personally i like it more when its ambient temp, not right out of the pan.

[@michellenoel2725]

And no salt until it’s done if you must, salt releases the juice and makes it soggy

[@user-sx6pp1mq6p]

Actually it pulls the bitterness out of, once salted you can dry it on a towel and proceed cooking and achieve that nice color

[@MyBoomStick1]

@@user-sx6pp1mq6pI think you’re zucchini is too big if you need to leach out bitter liquid. Good zucchini isn’t bitter and doesn’t need that done unless maybe it’s been left to grow too large on the plant past when you’d wanna eat it

I love olive oil yours looks very good!

[@artisticvisions77]

I think olive oil makes everything taste better. The ultimate oil👍 I’m on a budget and do not have a lot of money but every time I get paid the first thing that I buy is high quality extra virgin olive oil. Some nights back when money was really tight, I would have 3 or 4 shots of it for dinner. I was somewhat full but 5 minutes later, I felt really good. Some things you don’t cut corners with. High quality extra virgin olive oil should be at the top of your list. Extremely healthy for the mind, body, and spirit.

[@user-yq2rn2hy8p]

Me too id probably bake the eggplant in the oven after preparing it like this. If you have the smaller Japanese eggplants-, it would cook through. But on bigger eggplants, id add some parmesan and put the zukes in a preheated medium oven. And make a bunch. It's wasting energy for just one. Good eats!!😅😅

[@angelbulldog4934]

I'd want onion in the pan too, but this looks great!

[@detroit75kitchen]

Def try it with onion!

[@blazeandcyrus]

[@user-ev6xm8vo9n]

I carmelize the onion first in olive oil,garlic and ghee. Then add the zucchini and yellow squash. Plate it and sprinkle with parmesan and nutritional yeast! Yummmm!😋
