Recipe of the week: Grilled Zucchini and Honey Ricotta Toasts

We’ve said goodbye to summer weeks ago but surprisingly, the warmth remained. Enjoy those last few days of sun on your patio with our Grilled Zucchini and Honey Ricotta Toasts. Simple but so delicious, this appetizer/snacks can be prepared directly with your BBQ (or oven if you’d prefer!). Let’s get cooking!

Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 10 minutes | Total Time: 30 minutes | Servings: 8 toasts

INGREDIENTS FOR THE HONEY-RICOTTA:

  • 400 grams ricotta
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 medium garlic cloves
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • Pepper to taste

INGREDIENTS FOR THE ZUCCHINI:

  • 2 medium zucchinis , sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • 2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • Pepper to taste

INGREDIENTS FOR THE TOAST:

  • 8 slices crusty sourdough bread
  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

INGREDIENTS FOR THE ASSEMBLY:

  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 3 tbsp balsamic cream , not balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. In the bowl of a food processor, add the ricotta, honey, garlic, salt and pepper. Whip over medium speed for about 30 seconds or until completely smooth.
  2. Transfer the ricotta mixture to an airtight container and place in the refrigerator for later.
  3. Preheat your bbq (or oven) to medium-high heat.
  4. Lightly brush the sliced bread with olive oil. Place on a clean plate or tray and set aside.
  5. In a large bowl, add the sliced zucchinis, the olive oil, salt and pepper. Give them a quick toss to evenly coat with the oil, salt and pepper.
  6. Place the zucchini on the grill in a single layer. Let cook for about 2 minutes per side or until they begin to soften and there are nice grill marks on the zucchini slices.
  7. Place the bread sliced on the grill. Toast for about 2 minutes per side or until there are grill marks on both sides.
  8. To assemble, spread a generous layer of the honey ricotta mixture on your grilled toasts. Place the sliced zucchini on the honey ricotta. Lightly drizzle with balsamic cream and honey.
  9. Serve and enjoy!
