Broiled Zucchini With Herbs

Submitted by Sharon123

"Easy, classically Mediterranean, this zucchini emerges from the broiler with a still somewhat firm texture, coated with a lemony glaze and flavored with sweet herbs. This is also good grilled over the coals in good weather. Try cutting this on the diagonal to make elongated oval slices, good for both broiling and grilling techniques. This recipe is from Moosewood Low Fat Favorites!"

A very tasty and great looking side dish. The only ingredient I substituted was dried mint for the fresh mint, as I just couldn't get my hands on any today. I would suggest if broiling this dish as opposed to grilling in a packet that it be stirred half-way through the broiling process. That way the top doesn't dry out and the lemon-herb flavour is better distributed. I can't wait to try this in the summer with fresh tomatoes and herbs!

Great dish everything was there but I used dried mint and I think it lost something. I looked beautiful. I will change the rating when I get to try this again. Thanks.

I wish I had a camera to post the beautiful dish I served. The colors were a delight visually, and the aroma of the grilled vegetables were ....oh, so summer! I used my garden fresh mint, and the wonderful summertime tomatoes. This dish is just perfect....no need to change a thing. Thanks for sharing this delightful recipe.

I loved this! I have been making plain roasted vegetables for weeks because it is good for my low carb diet. I was thrilled to see this variation. I made lots of the herb "dressing", coated all of my vegetables and broiled them. The results were great and pretty too. I plan on trying this on my grilled chicken next time! Thanks for livening up my vegetables.
