Description

A delightful summer dish featuring grilled zucchini topped with creamy goat cheese, fresh basil, and a drizzle of honey.


Ingredients

  • 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 and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Remove ends from zucchini and slice into 1/2-inch pieces lengthwise.
  2. Spread sliced zucchini onto a plate or cutting board and apply salt liberally.
  3. Set aside for 20 minutes to allow excess water to drain out of zucchini. Pat dry using a clean cloth or paper towel.
  4. Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high. Brush olive oil or avocado oil onto both sides of each zucchini slice.
  5. Place slices of zucchini onto the grill. Cook for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway. Zucchini is done when it is tender and grill marks appear.
  6. Remove zucchini from the grill and serve on a large plate. Sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese and freshly chopped basil. Drizzle honey over top and season with salt and pepper, as desired. Enjoy!

Notes

For a twist, try adding different herbs or a drizzle of balsamic reduction.
