• Put cilantro in a small bowl with mint, garlic, lemon zest, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss with fingertips to evenly disperse; set aside.

• Arrange zucchini on serving plate, browned sides up. Serve warm or at room temperature. Just before serving toss bread crumbs with cilantro-mint mixture and scatter over zucchini. Drizzle with additional extra virgin olive oil, if desired.
