Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick strips.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture on both sides of each zucchini slice.
Place the zucchini slices on the preheated grill. Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until tender and lightly charred. Remove from the grill and set aside.
In another small bowl, combine the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and minced garlic. Stir well to make the marinade.
In a medium bowl, toss the cherry tomatoes with the marinade and let them sit for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Arrange the grilled zucchini on a serving plate and top with the marinated cherry tomatoes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately. Enjoy your Grilled Zucchini with Tomatoes!
