A simple lemon marinade adds big flavor to mild zucchini.<\/p>\n
Ingredients
\n 1 pound zucchini
\n 2 tablespoons olive oil
\n 2 tablespoons minced garlic
\n Zest from 1 lemon
\n 2 tablespoons lemon juice
\n 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
\n 1 teaspoon dried oregano
\n Salt and black pepper to taste
\n 1\/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)<\/p>\n
Preparation
\n 1. Remove the ends from the zucchini and slice them lengthwise into halves or thirds.
\n 2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, lemon zest and juice, vinegar and spices. Place the zucchini in a large dish or on a rimmed sheet pan and pour the marinade over the zucchini. Let sit for 30 minutes or more, stirring occasionally.
\n 3.Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill the zucchini slices for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, basting with any remaining marinade when flipping. Serve warm.<\/p>\n
Serving Suggestion
\nGarnish with lemon wedges and serve as a side dish with grilled meats and poultry, or chop and toss the zucchini with chunks of fresh tomato, feta cheese and cooked couscous for a light Mediterranean salad. Picnicking? Put the zucchini and marinade in a plastic zip lock bag just before leaving home and grill them on-site.<\/p>\n
