This Grilled Zucchini recipe with garlic, red pepper flakes, mustard, and thyme makes a delicious vegetable side dish that can accompany so many mains to make a healthy and hearty meal.
Wash zucchini well and cut lengthwise into ½-1 cm thick slices.
Mix all the remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Add zucchini, mix well (easiest with clean hands), and let marinate for 30-60 minutes. → If you need to cook them quickly, grill the zucchini directly after dipping them in the marinade.
Heat the grill or grill pan. → I always rub my grill pan with a little bit of oil beforehand, you can also do this to an outdoor grill to keep food from sticking on the grate.
Grill the zucchini on both sides for 2-3 minutes at high heat.
Arrange them on a serving platter and enjoy!
Notes
Tips:
Garnish the zucchini with mint and crumbled feta cheese before serving.
Drizzle with balsamic cream.
Place the grilled zucchini slices back into the marinade (what's left of it) and let them sit for a bit. Doing this will set the flavors together a little longer and makes them even more delicious when enjoyed cold.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
