I almost took a picture to show you how big my biceps have become.

I see you looking confused, but really I have been lifting some pretty heavy weights this week, and I am not talking about the dumbells at the gym.

Nope, I am talking about the herculean sized zucchinis. ย  I know I have said it before, but how do those squash grown into behemouths overnight? ย I may have some record breakers this year. ย Maybe I need to enter them into the summer fair of the largest zucchini contest. ย Yep, I bet I have removed a few blue ribbon winners this year.

Well with my endless supply of zucchini I have been finding some creative ways to enjoy them, but this Zucchini Carpacchio recipe is so genius. ย It takes zero time to prepare, and it is quite beautiful servedd up on a pretty plate. ย  Perfect to serve as a salad or side, and great to serve at the BBQ this summer, because you can make it ahead of time and serve at room temperature.

Have you ever grown zucchini? ย Did you get baseball size squashes? ย If so, what did you do with them?

If you make this recipe, please let me know! Leave a comment below or take a photo and tag me onย Instagramย orย Twitterย with #ahealthylifeforme.

Author: Amy Stafford via Gourmet Magazine
Prep time: 20 mins
Total time: 20 mins
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • Good quality olive oil
  • Ground black pepper
  • Sprinkle of kosher salt
  • Finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • Chopped Parsley or your favorite herb, chopped
Instructions
  1. Thinly slice zucchini with a mandolin.
  2. Arrange slices on a plate, overlapping edges slightly.
  3. Grind fresh pepper over top, sprinkle salt and drizzle with olive oil.
  4. Sprinkle a generous amount of Parmesan cheese to cover and sprinkle herbs.
  5. I let it sit for about 15 minutes so the olive oil could soak into the Zucchini
Notes

    I love fresh dishes like this. i have tried something similar, but with an added twist of lemon juice. Mint isn’t my favorite either. Basil or parsley….yeh.

    I love the simplicity of the flavors in here, and how they highlight the zucchini instead of mask it – just beautiful.

    The one year my dog dug up every plant except my zucchini. I was left with MONSTROUS zucchini! I could not cook fast enough! Now my mother-in-law left for vacation and gave me a ton of zucchini… Guess I know what I am making ๐Ÿ™‚

    I can never grow zucchini and I have no idea why. It’s supposed to be easy! But for some reason it won’t grow for me. I always end up with a couple tiny zucchini and that’s it. So disappointing. Oh well. This zucchini carpacchio looks fantastic so I’ll have to try it with my one or two zucchini this year! ๐Ÿ™‚
