Grilled zucchini without oil

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to fry zucchini on a grill pan without oil? Very simple! To begin, prepare all the necessary ingredients according to the list. I used regular zucchini with pale green skin. Young zucchini are also suitable.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the zucchini and dry. Trim the ends on both sides. Cut the zucchini lengthwise into slices no thicker than 1 cm. You can use a vegetable peeler.

3. STEP 3

   

   Sprinkle the chopped zucchini with dried herbs, salt and pepper and leave for 5-7 minutes to allow the spices to absorb. Before frying, it is better to blot the zucchini with napkins. If you wish, you can grease the zucchini with vegetable oil, but in this recipe the zucchini is cooked without oil.

4. STEP 4

   

   Heat the grill pan well over medium heat. Place the zucchini slices and fry until the characteristic crispy marks appear on the grooved surface of the pan, about 1-2 minutes. It is important not to move the zucchini around the pan, otherwise the clear, beautiful pattern will shift.

5. STEP 5

   

   Then turn the slices over to the other side and fry until charred on the other side. If you wish, you can cook the zucchini in a regular frying pan.

6. STEP 6

   

   Transfer the finished zucchini to a plate. Serve as a hot or cold appetizer on its own or as a side dish for meat, poultry or fish. Bon appetit!

Thanks for the interesting recipe! Fabulous! Simple, fast, tasty and not greasy. I was recently given a grill pan as a gift. Having searched my favorite website for recipes for grilling in a frying pan, I liked grilled zucchini in a frying pan without oil, quickly and tasty. I also wanted to cook such a miracle) I took a young zucchini without large seeds and cut it lengthwise into 5 mm thick plates. According to the author's advice, I added salt and pepper and left for 5 minutes. I grilled it in a frying pan without adding oil on both sides until it had characteristic stripes. It's very fast! The zucchini grilled on the stove came out excellent, juicy, dense and soft. When frying, they did not fall apart, were not crispy, and did not burn. I used grilled zucchini in a lettuce salad with herbs. Well, very tasty! And what is important is fast! Thank you
