Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the zucchinis. Cut off the ends and slice them lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick planks.
Mince the garlic cloves finely. Chop the fresh parsley and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
Brush both sides of the zucchini planks lightly with the garlic mixture using a pastry brush.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Place the zucchini planks on the grill and 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 to a serving plate.
Sprinkle the grilled zucchini with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish.
