Ok. I know this makes me sound old, but I am not a fan of TikTok or its “food trends”. Some things, like the fake coke, burn my biscuits. I feel like it makes cooking real food with real methods and ingredients irrelevant, but honestly a lot of it doesn’t taste great.
So why try this one? There is one reason, and one reason only. It is a Chef Thomas Keller method. I love Chef Kellers thought process on taking simple food and elevating it to a different level. I live and die by his method of roasting a whole chicken. I watched the videos and decided to give it a go. It did not disappoint.
The key is scoring the zucchini and salting it. This not only gives it an opportunity for the flavor to seep inside but it also draws out some of the water that makes zucchini steam. The salt brings the moisture out and you soak it up before searing it to the perfect shade of brown.
I hope you will give it a try and let me know what you think in the comments.
Bon Appetit!
