Easy Grilled Mediterranean Zucchini Boats

These zucchini boats are hollowed out and filled with a mixture of tomatoes, olives, feta cheese, and herbs, then grilled to perfection. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

4 medium zucchinis, halved lengthwise
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Zucchini: Preheat the grill to medium heat. Scoop out the center of each zucchini half to create boats, leaving about 1/4-inch of flesh around the edges.
Make the Filling: In a bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, olives, feta cheese, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Fill the Zucchini: Spoon the filling mixture into each zucchini boat, pressing it down gently to pack it in.

Grill the Zucchini: Place the filled zucchini boats on the grill, cut side up. Close the grill lid and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the filling is heated through.
Serve: Remove from the grill and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
