Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons harissa paste
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and trim the zucchini. Slice each zucchini lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick planks.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, harissa paste, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Brush both sides of the zucchini slices generously with the spice mixture using a pastry brush.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the zucchini slices on the grill in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until grill marks appear and the zucchini is tender but not mushy.
Remove the zucchini from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the grilled zucchini for garnish.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish or a light vegan main course.
