Marinated grilled zucchini is a very simple and tasty side dish, with a marinade made with lemon and mint, they are delicious, flavorful, and perfect for accompanying both meat and fish dishes. The marinade sauce is reminiscent of gremolada sauce, a Milanese sauce used with ossobuco. I also recommend trying the raw marinated zucchini which are also very tasty and quick to make. I suggest preparing the cooked marinated zucchini a few hours in advance so they will be even more flavorful as they will absorb all the flavors of the marinade ingredients. If you have grilled zucchini and do not know how to season them, then I recommend this marinade. Now let’s see how to make marinated grilled zucchini, and if you try them, let me know. Barbara

How to prepare marinated grilled zucchini

Let’s start preparing the Marinated Grilled Zucchini, slice the zucchini thinly preferably with a mandoline for even thickness,
grill them on a hot grill pan on both sides.
Pour extra virgin olive oil into a small bowl,
add some salt,
chopped parsley,
and some chopped mint leaves.
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon,
and pour it into the bowl with the oil,
also add some pepper
and mix everything well by whisking with a fork.
Pour the flavored oil over the grilled zucchini,
add some grated lemon zest and mix well so that all the zucchini are seasoned. If necessary, add more oil.
Let the grilled and marinated zucchini rest so they absorb even more flavor.
