The one thing every cook should know about zucchini is that they like HIGH HEAT. Therefore, grilling, roasting, and broiling work best when cooking these tender summer squash. When in a time pinch, try this method.
4 small zucchini
salt and pepper (or seasoning salt and pepper)
olive oil
1. Preheat broiler.
2. Cut ends off zucchini. Then slice a very thin piece off one side to give the zucchini "feet" to stand on so that it won't roll around while slicing. Slice thinly. Repeat with remaining zucchini.
3. Place on a baking sheet. (If they are piled on top of each other, they will steam so make sure they are placed alongside each other.) Spray or brush with olive oil (use only a little bit).
4. Salt and pepper sparingly.
5. Place under the broiler, keeping an eye on them so they don't burn. When they have a little golden color and look tender, they are done.
Serves 2.
