Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dry the zucchinis. Trim both ends of the zucchinis and cut them lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper.
Brush each zucchini slice on both sides with the olive oil mixture using a pastry brush or a spoon.
Place the zucchini slices on the preheated grill. Grill the zucchini for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the zucchini is tender but still has a slight crunch.
Remove the zucchini from the grill and arrange on a serving platter.
Optionally, garnish with additional fresh thyme leaves before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy this Whole30-friendly side dish.
