Ingredients:

  • 2 medium zucchinis (approx. 1.3 lbs / 600g), sliced into 1/2-inch planks
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Note: Mix well so the garlic doesn't clump on one piece.
  2. Cut the zucchinis lengthwise into planks approximately 1/2 inch thick.
  3. Toss the planks into the marinade. Use your hands to make sure every surface is glistening with oil.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium high heat. Wait until the grates are searing hot.
  5. Place the zucchini planks perpendicular to the grill grates.
  6. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side until deep mahogany colored grill marks appear.
  7. Transfer the grilled zucchini to a platter immediately.
  8. Drizzle the melted butter and lemon juice over the hot planks.
  9. Scatter fresh parsley over the top and serve.
