Discover how to make delicious Grilled Zucchini with Goat Cheese, Basil, and Honey. This easy recipe is perfect for a healthy and flavorful dish!
Ingredients
- 5 medium zucchinis (about 900g)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil or avocado oil (15 ml)
- 1/3 cup crumbled cheese alternative (such as dairy-free feta) (40 g)
- 2 Tbsp fresh basil, chopped (30 ml)
- 5 Tbsp agave nectar (22.5 ml)
- Salt + pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Trim the ends off the zucchinis and cut them lengthwise into slices about 1/2 inch thick. Lay the zucchini slices on a platter or cutting surface and generously sprinkle them with salt. Allow them to rest for 20 minutes so that the excess moisture can be drawn out. Use a fresh cloth or paper towel to pat them dry.
- Preheat your grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly coat both sides of the zucchini slices with olive oil or avocado oil.
- Arrange the zucchini slices on the grill. Cook them for 10-15 minutes, turning them over at the halfway mark. The zucchini is ready when it becomes tender and grill marks are visible. Take care not to overcook them!
- Take the zucchini off the grill and place them on a big serving dish. Scatter crumbled goat cheese and freshly chopped basil on top. Pour honey over the zucchini and add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy your meal!
