Honey Garlic Zucchini

Zucchini recipes incoming! Yes, the season is upon us. Here's my first offering. Roasted young zucchini (save the big old ones for zucchini bread!) with honey and garlic. Use more garlic if you like and even change up the honey to hot honey for a spicy kick. 

 

Ingredients:

1 small to medium zucchini

salt to sprinkle

2 tsps olive oil, divided

1 tbsp butter, at room temperature

1 tsp honey

pinches of salt

1 tsp fresh chopped parsley

1 1/2 tsps minced garlic

black pepper to taste

fresh basil leaves and feta to top  

Preheat oven to 425°F. Slice the zucchini lengthwise and score in a crisscross pattern. Sprinkle salt on each half and let sit 10 minutes. After that time wipe them off but do not rinse. Meanwhile mix the butter, 1 tsp olive oil, honey, pinches of salt to taste, parsley and garlic and set aside. Heat a cast iron pan to medium high heat. Add 1 tsp olive oil and place zucchini halves cut side down. Sear 2-3 minutes until browned. Then flip them over and into the oven for 10 minutes. Next spread the prepared butter mixture on each half and return to the oven for 10-12 minutes. Top with fresh torn basil leaves, crumbled feta and cracked black pepper. Serves 2
