Ingredients
Scale
2 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
2 large tomatoes, sliced
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
Balsamic glaze for drizzling
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium heat.
In a large bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Place the zucchini slices on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the zucchini is tender. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly.
On a serving platter, layer the grilled zucchini, mozzarella slices, and tomato slices, alternating each ingredient.
Tuck fresh basil leaves between the layers.
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the top of the stackers before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, marinate the zucchini slices in balsamic vinegar for 30 minutes before grilling.
Substitute grilled eggplant or portobello mushrooms for a different twist on the stackers.
