Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 medium zucchini
1/4 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Grated zest of 3 lemons (about 3 tablespoons), plus juice of 2 lemons

Steps:

  • Lop off the tops and bottoms of the zucchini and quarter them lengthwise. Place in a very large resealable plastic bag (or two regular-size bags). Drizzle in the olive oil, then add 1 teaspoon salt,1 teaspoon pepper, 1 tablespoon lemon zest and the lemon juice. Seal the bag and smoosh everything around a bit so that the zucchini is coated. Set aside for 15 to 20 minutes to marinate.
  • Preheat a grill to medium. Grill the zucchini, turning, until nice and tender, being careful not to burn it, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the zucchini to a plate as it gets done.
  • Pile up the rest of the lemon zest on a cutting board and sprinkle 1 tablespoon salt on top. Use a knife to chop the salt and zest together until it becomes lemon salt. Add more salt if it needs it. Sprinkle the lemon salt over the grilled zucchini.

A delicious way to use up the HUGE zucchini that always manage to hide somewhere in the veggie patch.

Provided by KatKatia

Categories     Vegetable

Time 20m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lemon, juice of
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large zucchini, cut into 1/2 inch round
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Mix first three ingredients together in shallow bowl and let them sit for around 15 minutes.
  • Making sure the grill is nice and hot, dip the zucchini slices into the marinade and place them directly on the grill. Use tongs for the best results.
  • Remember to flip them once you feel that one side is nicely browned.
  • Cook until desired amount of tenderness is reached, or until both sides have grill marks and can be stabbed easily with a fork.
  • Note: If using a smaller zucchini cut into a shape that works for your grill, you wouldn't want the slices to fall between the bars. I usually end up using ridiculously large zucchinis (diameter around 3 inches or larger).
