Equipment
- 1 grill
- 1 large bowl
- 1 Small bowl
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini, sliced
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Mint dressing
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 handful mint, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Slice zucchini into ½ inch pieces. Try to keep them evenly cut so that they cook evenly.
- In a large bowl, combine the zucchini with salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix well until the zucchini is coated in olive oil.
- Place the zucchini on the grill so that they are flat on the grates. Cook on each side for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown. Flip once the vegetable starts to bubble. Cook for another 5 minutes then remove from the grill.
- While grilling the zucchini, add the ¼ cup of olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, mint, and garlic to a small bowl. Whisk together well.
- Combine the cooked zucchini with the mint dressing and toss until completely covered. Serve immediately with fresh mint garnish!

Notes
- Evenly slicing the zucchini into ½ inch pieces is the key to the texture of the dish. This thickness works well because the zucchini can get crisp but still maintain its texture and shape.
- The grill is going to have its hot spots. You know your grill best but the 4-5 minutes is a suggestion. Grill until the zucchini gets a golden brown color and a bubbling texture.
