Steps for Preparing Marinated Zucchini
Wash the zucchini and slice them lengthwise. I prefer using a knife because I like thicker slices, but if you prefer, you can use a mandoline. Then gather them in a dish.
Wash parsley and basil and chop them together with the garlic. Put them in a bowl with extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Grill the zucchini slices for a few minutes on each side. In a baking dish, make several layers of zucchini slices, alternating with the herb and garlic pesto. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for two or three hours. The zucchini are ready to be enjoyed.
