Grilled zucchini is an unlikely but welcome addition to goat cheese topped crostini, offering a unique way to enjoy the delicate squash - atop a grilled crostini!

Ingredients
- 8 lices French bread
- 2 smallish zucchini
- 3-4 ounces goat cheese
- canola oil
- garlic salt
- black pepper
- smoked paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to around 350 degrees Fahrenheit. I set my three-zone Weber grill to medium heat (on all three zones).
- Brush zucchini rounds with canola oil. Sprinkle each with garlic salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika, using as much or as little as you’d like. I only do this on one side, but do both sides if you'd like.
- Place zucchini rounds seasoned side down on the heated grill.
- Brush both sides of each slice of French bread with canola oil.
- Place French bread slices on heated grill.
- Close grill and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Flip bread, then flip zucchini rounds.
- Re-cover grill and continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes. Check bread after 2 minutes have passed. Remove from grill if nice and crusty.
- Spread goat cheese on each slice of crostini immediately after removing it from the grill; it will help it get a little melty. I like to pre-crumble the goat cheese slightly, place a few chunks on each slice, then use a butter knife to spread it out.
- Remove the zucchini from the grill. Assemble zucchini on the goat cheese-slathered crostini. Slice a few zucchini in half if you like for maximum crostini coverage.
- Serve. Add additional seasoning, to taste. Hitting it with a pinch of salt isn't a bad idea.
Notes
- Other seasoning ideas: onion powder, cayenne pepper, lemon pepper seasoning, cumin. You could also top with some fresh basil, oregano, or thyme to make it really pop.
