Description
A cozy summer delight that brings together grilled zucchini, creamy goat cheese, fresh basil, and a drizzle of honey for a refreshing and elegant dish.
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
- Begin by removing the ends from the zucchinis, then slice each one lengthwise into 1/2-inch pieces. Spreading the sliced zucchini onto a plate or cutting board, apply salt liberally. Set aside for 20 minutes to let the excess water drain out and the zucchini to become perfectly tender.
- After 20 minutes, pat the zucchini slices dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush both sides of each zucchini slice with olive oil or avocado oil.
- Place the slices onto the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Once your zucchini is perfectly grilled, remove it from the grill and arrange it nicely on a large serving plate.
- Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese and freshly chopped basil across the top.
- Drizzle honey over the zucchini and season with additional salt and pepper as desired.
Notes
Make-Ahead Advice: You can prep the zucchini and season it up to a day in advance. Just store it covered in the fridge and grill it fresh when ready to serve!
