Meaty Grilled Zucchini

Grilled zucchini has a lovely smoky charred, meaty quality that's just delicious—and it's easy! Try this with any variety of summer squash, or even a mix. Grill up some extra to use in our Zucchini Salad with Lemon-Tahini Dressing.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound zucchini
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • flake sea salt (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Halve zucchini lengthwise, if they're small (about 6 inches). For larger ones, simply cut into 6-inch spears.
  • Combine oil and remaining ingredients, except flake sea salt, in a shallow dish. Add zucchini, tossing to coat. Let stand 10 minutes.
  • Preheat grill.
  • Remove zucchini from marinade, reserving marinade. Grill zucchini 10 minutes, or until tender, turning frequently. Transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle with any leftover marinade, and sprinkle with flake sea salt.
