Not only are these appetizers incredibly simple, they’re delicious and pretty. Make up a batch or two for your next party and let the compliments roll in. For a little extra color on the table, consider using some summer squash in place of some of the zucchini. For a stiffer pesto, start with part of the oil and drizzle in until you’ve reached the desired consistency.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. zucchini, thinly sliced lengthwise
- 9 oz. frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and well-drained
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup parsley, chopped
- ¼ cup walnuts
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbsp. fresh Parmesan cheese, grated
Directions
- Heat the grill to high and quickly sear the zucchini.
- Combine remaining ingredients in a food processor and pulse, scraping down the sides of the bowl, until pesto reaches desired texture.
- Spread a tablespoon or so of pesto onto each piece of zucchini. Roll and serve.
