Grilled Caprese Zucchini Boats
Ready In: 25 mins
Serves: 2-4
Ingredients
- 2 zucchini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt, to taste
- 3 -4 ounces mozzarella cheese
- 8 grape tomatoes, cut into fourths
- 4 medium basil, cut into thin ribbons
Directions
- Heat grill on medium heat.
- Trim off the ends of the zucchini and cut it in half lengthwise. Using small spoon, scrape out just a bit of zucchini flesh, to create a well (just enough to create a place to cradle your mozzarella cheese), leaving about 1/4" from the edge intact.
- Brush the cut side of the zucchini with olive oil and season with salt (I also added pepper).
- Place zucchini, cut side down, on the grill at an angle. Continue cooking until the zucchini is charred and beginning to soften, about 10 minutes or so.
- Turn zucchini over, laying the zucchini in the same direction as the lines on the rack, as this will help to cradle each zucchini boat. Plac 2 mozzarella strips into the well area of each zucchini boat.
- Top the mozzarella with about 8 tomato pieces. Cover the lid on the grill and continue cooking until the cheese is melted. After the cheese is melted, remove your zucchini boats carefully from the grill.
- Before serving, sprinkle with your basil ribbons.
