GRILLED ZUCCHINI WITH ONIONS, CORN, AND CHERRY TOMATOES



Grilled Zucchini with Onions, Corn, and Cherry Tomatoes image

Categories     Salad     Onion     Tomato     Side     Cherry     Corn     Zucchini     Summer

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 zucchini, halved lengthwise
1 large onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rings
2 ears of fresh corn, shucked
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 garlic clove, minced
1 lemon
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare a hot grill.
  • Place the zucchini, onions, and corn on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the salt. Toss the vegetables to ensure that they are well coated.
  • Place the vegetables on the hot grill. As they begin to brown, turn them carefully so that they brown fully on all sides but stay intact, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the vegetables from the grill and let cool slightly.
  • Cut the grilled corn kernels from the cobs and place in a bowl. Add the cherry tomatoes, the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt, the parsley, and garlic. Squeeze the lemon into the bowl and stir to combine.
  • Arrange the grilled zucchini on a serving platter. Cut the onion rings in half and drape them over the zucchini. Spoon the tomato and corn mixture over the zucchini and onions. Finish with a grind of pepper and serve warm. Alternatively, make the dish ahead and serve at room temperature.
  • GRILLING TIPS
  • We like to cut our veggies on the larger side for grilling so they don't burn quickly. We turn them a few times to keep the insides tender while the outside takes on that ideal smoky char. It's important to remember that your meat and veggies continue to cook after you've pulled them off the grill, so be sure to let the meat rest for 5 minutes before serving and take care to remove the vegetables before they overcook.

Tips:

  • Choose small to medium-sized zucchini: They are more tender and have fewer seeds.
  • Slice the zucchini evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Marinate the zucchini: This will help them absorb flavor and prevent them from drying out.
  • Use a hot grill: This will help the zucchini get nice grill marks and prevent them from sticking.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill: Leave some space between the zucchini slices so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the zucchini until they are tender-crisp: You don't want them to get too soft or mushy.
  • Serve the zucchini immediately: They are best enjoyed hot off the grill.

Conclusion:

Grilled zucchini is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed on its own or used as a topping for other dishes. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables and is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. With its simple preparation and quick cooking time, grilled zucchini is a perfect choice for busy weeknight meals or summer barbecues.
