Grilled Zucchini
1 1/2 lbs zucchini (or summer squash)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, finely minced (or 2 teaspoons granulated garlic)
2 tablespoons zaatar spice (mix 1 teaspoon of each: cumin, coriander, dried thyme, sumac, and sesame seeds. Add ¼ teaspoon Himalayan sea salt)
1/2 teaspoon Himalayan sea salt, more to taste
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Pinch red pepper flakes
One lemon
2 tablespoons fresh herbs for garnish: Italian parsley, cilantro, mint, dill, or basil.
1. Preheat grill to medium-high. Clean and grease grill grates.
2. Slice the zucchini into 1/3-inch thick slices and place in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and mix to coat well.
3. Add the garlic, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and zaatar spice, and toss to combine until each piece is well coated.
4. Place zucchini slices on the hot grill using tongs. Close the lid and give a good sear, about 3-4 minutes. When there are good grill marks, turn them over, cover, and grill for 3-4 more minutes.
5. Continue grilling until slightly bendy and translucent - be careful not to overcook. Place back in the bowl, add a little squeeze of lemon and adjust salt to taste. Scatter with fresh herbs and serve immediately.
