Grilled Zucchini
- 2 medium (about 12 ounces) green zucchini, ends trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
- 2 medium (about 12 ounces) yellow zucchini, ends trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried mint flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 lemons, cut into wedges
- Arrange zucchini on a baking sheet; drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil, turning zucchini several times to coat both sides with oil. Sprinkle on both sides with garlic, oregano, mint, salt, and red and black peppers.
- Set up your grill for direct grilling, and preheat to high. If you'll be using a vegetable grate, preheat it as well.
- Arrange zucchini on grill or grate, and cook 3-4 minutes per side or until browned. Transfer to a platter, and arrange in an attractive pattern. Drizzle 1 tablespoon oil over zucchini; garnish with lemon wedges. Serve hot or at room temperature.
