Using the hasselback technique--cutting partially into a whole fruit or vegetable every 1/2 inch or so--gives you an easy way to sneak lots of flavor into this healthy zucchini recipe. To bake the zucchini instead of grilling, place in a foil-lined 8-inch-square baking pan and bake at 425°F until tender, 25 to 30 minutes.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh oregano or 1/2 teaspoon dried
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
4 small zucchini (about 1 pound total)
⅓ cup shaved Parmesan cheese, large pieces broken in half

Directions

Preheat grill to medium-high.
Combine oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Make crosswise cuts every 1/2 inch along each zucchini, slicing almost to the bottom but not all the way through. Gently fan the zucchini to open the cuts wider and place a small piece of Parmesan into each cut. Brush the oil mixture over the top.
Place the zucchini on a double layer of foil and grill, without turning, until browned and tender, 16 to 18 minutes.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
