Ingredients
-
¼ cup olive oil
-
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
-
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper, or to taste
-
½ cup whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs
-
2 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated (about 1/2 cup)
-
1 ½ teaspoons fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
-
1 teaspoon lemon zest
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
2 large zucchini, halved lengthwise
-
Lemon wedges for serving
Directions
-
Combine oil, garlic and crushed red pepper in a small skillet over low heat. Cook, stirring often, until the garlic is softened and light golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool for 5 minutes. Stir in panko, Parmesan, thyme, lemon zest and salt.
-
Preheat grill to very high (at least 500 degrees F). Oil the grill grates, using tongs to hold an oil-soaked paper towel. Place zucchini, cut-sides down, on the oiled grates; grill, uncovered, until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Flip the zucchini so they are cut-side up; spoon the panko mixture evenly on top. Grill, covered, until the topping is golden brown in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully transfer to a serving platter. Serve with lemon wedges.

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.)
