The grilled zucchini with lemon is a tasty, easy-to-prepare side dish that requires just a bit of effort and attention for cooking, which is quick; just turn them on both sides and grill over a high flame for a short time. It’s the perfect side dish for both lunches and dinners, light and delicate. Light and tasty, I would say refined, it pairs well with meat, especially white meat, with fish, and even with omelets. Low-calorie zucchinis are allies for those on a diet. They contain many beneficial properties such as vitamins A and C. They are especially recommended for those with kidney problems due to their diuretic effect, and for intestinal inflammation as they contain few fibers.

Grilled Zucchini Side Dish with Lemon
Tips for the grilled zucchini side dish recipe: Let the side dish rest for a few hours before eating and do not refrigerate. Slice the zucchinis preferably with an electric slicer that allows you to make them thinner and therefore grill them in less time. Come and take a peek on Pinterest at The Cook Who Recovers
