Grilled Zucchini and Feta Toasts

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high and brush the grates clean, if grilling outdoors.

2. Step 2

   With a small spoon, scrape the seeds from the middle of zucchini halves and discard. Rub zucchini with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place zucchini halves onto grill, cut-sides down, and cook until charred on both sides, turning halfway through, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer grilled zucchini onto a cutting board, let cool slightly then cut into bite-size pieces.

3. Step 3

   While zucchini grills, brush bread on both sides with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Grill until lightly charred on both sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter.

4. Step 4

   While zucchini and bread grill, prepare the spice oil: Heat remaining ¼ cup oil in a small saucepan over medium-low until hot. Stir in the garlic, cumin seeds, coriander seeds and red-pepper flakes, and remove from heat. The residual heat from the oil will cook the garlic and spices. Transfer spice oil to a large bowl, add grilled zucchini and toss to combine.

5. Step 5

   Spoon zucchini over grilled bread and top with large pieces of feta. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing on top.
