Sesame-Crusted Grilled Zucchini with Honey-Soy Glaze

Grilled zucchini is a summer staple around my house, and this recipe offered a nice change of pace. The zucchini are first brushed with sesame oil, then grilled, and toward the end brushed with a honey-soy sauce mix. After that, you dredge them in toasted sesame seeds.

The result was an asian-inspired slightly crunchy vegetable that still had some of that smokey grill goodness. Two of us found this to be "WOW", and two thought it no better than the au naturale plain grilled zucchini. Because I really like sesame seeds. this was a delight.

I will note that a glaze does not take well to a vegetable as wet as a zucchini. I brushed it on as best I could, but it would just bead up. I did two layers each side, and the flavor was still very modest. The glaze might stick better to something more porous.
