Description
A fresh and colorful dish that captures the essence of summer, featuring grilled zucchini topped with creamy goat cheese, fragrant basil, and sweet honey.
Ingredients
Scale
- 5 medium zucchinis
- Salt
- 1 Tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- 1/3 cup goat cheese, crumbled
- 2 Tbsp fresh basil, chopped
- 1.5 Tbsp honey
- Salt + pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the zucchinis: Remove the ends from the zucchinis and slice them into 1/2-inch pieces lengthwise. Spread the sliced zucchini onto a plate or cutting board, and apply salt liberally. Set aside for 20 minutes to allow excess water to drain out of the zucchini. Pat dry using a clean cloth or paper towel.
- Preheat the grill: Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high.
- Oil the zucchini: Brush olive oil or avocado oil onto both sides of each zucchini slice.
- Grill the zucchini: Place the slices of zucchini onto the grill. Cook for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Serve with flair: Remove the zucchini from the grill, sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese and chopped basil, drizzle honey over the top, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can slice and salt the zucchini a few hours in advance.
