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
- 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 let excess water drain out. Pat dry using a clean cloth or paper towel.
- Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high. Brush olive oil or avocado oil onto both sides of each zucchini slice.
- Place the zucchini slices onto the grill. Cook for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through. The zucchini is done when tender and grill marks appear. Make sure not to over-cook!
- Remove the zucchini from the grill and serve on a large plate. Sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese and freshly chopped basil. Drizzle honey over the top and season with salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
