    2-3 medium-sized zucchini – Wash and dry them well, then slice them into long, thin slices, keeping the skin on. The skin intensifies the flavour and gives that amazing green colour to the final product. Plus, it’s packed with fibber, so we definitely want it on.

    Recipe for perfectly grilled zucchini with garlic

    Ingredients

    Directions

    • Prepare the Zucchini: Slice the zucchini into thin strips. Line them in a dish and sprinkle a bit of oil to coat them so they don’t stick on the grill. Grab a pair of tongs and head to the hot grill.
    • Grill Time: Lay the zucchini slices on the grill and cook until they’re nicely charred and have nice grill marks. Flip them once to ensure they’re cooked evenly.grilling zucchini
    • Make the Dressing: While the zucchini is grilling, prepare the dressing. You will need some extra virgin olive oil, mustard, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, salt and black pepper. Whip up the ingredients for the garlic balsamic dressing and set it aside.ingredients for simple balsamic salad dressing
    • Dress It Up: Drizzle your warm grilled zucchini with the balsamic dressing. Set them aside for 20-30 minutes to absorb the dressing.
    • Serve: Sprinkle with chopped parsley to make it pop! I love serving them on a green salad or next to grilled meat. Find your perfect match and enjoy!
