Summer Grilled Zucchini

Ask (almost) any kid and they will tell you that zucchini would not be on the top 5 favorite list… or the top 20! Many of our test group kids seemed to like the smokey flavor of the grill paired with the freshness of lemon zest (or a spritz of lemon!). Easy to do ahead of time or throw on the grill whenever the mood suits.

Ingredients

2 medium zucchini, sliced into thick strips lengthwise

1 tbsp refined coconut oil

1/2 tsp lemon zest

1/4 tsp chili flakes, optional

Kosher salt to taste

Fresh ground pepper to taste

3-4 basil leaves, torn

 

Directions

  • Preheat grill on medium-high.
  • In a large bowl, toss zucchini with oil, lemon zest, chili flakes, salt & pepper.
  • Once grill is hot, place zucchini on grill.
  • Cover and cook for 3 minutes.
  • Flip and continue cooking on high, covered, for 2-3 min more.
  • When done, remove from heat, garnish with basil and more chili flakes, if desired.
