Grilled Sriracha Zucchini
I have done a lot of cheating in my eating lately. It has been catching up with me around the belly… As they say, “Into the lips and on to the hips.” With my age, it is harder and harder to burn off. I know enough about nutrition and exercise to know better. But sometimes you want a slice of French Coconut Pie or spoonful of Bacon Ranch Potato Salad (never, ever really only a spoonful). The problem is lately my “sometimes” have turned into “often.” I was following Julie Child’s mantra, “Everything in moderation including moderation.” But alas, I am back on track, at least for a little while. I am certainly not promising “forever,” because there is a whole world of food out there I must try, but I am focusing on the healthier stuff until my belly rolls at least stop jiggling.

Healthier doesn’t mean we can’t eat good! Oh no! I will never be that person that will eat the strict diet of lean meats and steamed vegetables every day in an assortment of seasonings. No thanks. I will gladly keep my little love handles over that life style. I have to have taste and variety as you can see in my Mussels with Sofrito , Low Carb Moussaka , and Hamburger Soup recipes to name a few.
Sriracha recipe
Recently, I had some friends come over for a cookout and wanted to think up something healthy, but really tasty so I didn’t have to stray off my healthy eating. And BAM! I thought of this brilliant Sriracha recipe. It was WICKED GOOD! And I will be making this very, very often.
How to make Sriracha Grilled Zucchini
- You can just slice it the normal way and it will turn out just as tasty, but because I was entertaining, I wanted my zucchini to be more fun. Therefore, I sliced it thin with my De Buyer Swing Mandoline, Red
to make zucchini ribbons. It is easy to use and cuts perfectly as you can see below. The red version is a little cheaper than the stainless steal version. I did a lot of research before purchasing it because I do a lot of slicing in my kitchen and I didn’t want another gadget I would be unsatisfied with. I am very happy with it.

- Next, I threaded the zucchini with Kabob skewers PACK of 500 8 inch bamboo sticks made from 100 % natural bamboo – shish kabob skewers – (500) . You can use the nice medal ones also. I needed a lot to serve at one time, so I used my wooden skewers.

- Then you just mix Sriracha and butter together and brush it on the zucchini ribbons and grill them until cooked.

I LOVE the idea of skewering zucchini ribbons! I actually have a container full of zucchini, squash, and carrot ribbons leftover from a tart I made and I couldn’t figure out what to do with them. I’m going to grill them on skewer sticks. Thank you!!

Love it ‘wicked good’! And I also love ‘everything in moderation, including moderation’. But I totally know what you mean. I always say if I want to indulge a little here or there, I better get my butt on that treadmill or squat it out 😀 Like you, I always make sure that even if I’m eating something healthy, it better taste good! And these grilled sriracha zucchini is just that; I love both of those ingredients so this is right up my alley 🙂
