I found this on the internet because I was looking for ways to use up some of the many zucchinis from my garden. It is garlicy and delicious and it is similar to a pesto.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb zucchini
2 tsp salt, plus more to taste
2 clove garlic cloves, minced
1/4 c basil, chopped
1/3 c almond slices, finely chopped
1/2 Tbsp thyme leaves, chopped
1/3 c grated parmesan
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp lemon zest
4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
freshly ground black pepper
1 baguette, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds

Steps:

  • 1. Coarsely grate zucchini. Spread zucchini out over a clean dish towel (one you might not mind losing). Sprinkle 2 teaspoons salt evenly over zucchini. Walk away for 5 minutes. Pack the zucchini in the middle of the towel, and squeeze it over the kitchen sink until most of the moisture is gone (and there will be a surprising amount of moisture). In a medium mixing bowl, combine strained zucchini, garlic, basil, almonds, thyme, Parmesan, lemon juice, lemon zest, and 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir thoroughly to combine. Salt and pepper to taste. (Go easy on the salt; you might not need it at all.) Refrigerate for one hour.
  • 2. When zucchini mixture is just about ready, pre-heat your broiler. Arrange bread slices on baking sheet and brush with remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Broil until bread is slightly browned. (This will be quick.
  • 3. Top each bread slice with a tablespoon or so of the zucchini mixture. Serve and delight in your creation.

These were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a spicy cheese. I'll definitely try them again with a milder cheese.

These were a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used a salty cheese. I'll definitely try them again with a different cheese.

I thought these were just okay. The zucchini was a bit bland and the goat cheese was too strong for my taste.

These were a bit too oily for my taste, but I think I just used too much olive oil. I'll definitely try them again with less oil.

I love how versatile these crostini are. You can use any type of bread, cheese, or toppings that you like. I've even made them with grilled zucchini and they were delicious!
