Grilled zucchini

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   At the beginning, decide what kind of slicing the zucchini will have. Depending on this, buy the right squash. If you plan to cook zucchini in the form of circles, use a more elongated and thin zucchini (there will be beautiful circles that can be put whole in your mouth in one bite). If you plan to fry oblong zucchini, on the contrary, buy a thicker zucchini, since it will look better on a platter. Wash the squash and wipe it dry with a towel.

2. Step 2:

   

   Cut the clean zucchini into circles / oblong pieces 0.5-0.7 centimeters thick. Do not slice the vegetable too thickly, it may not cook inside, but also do not slice it too thinly, as it may lose its shape.

3. Step 3:

   

   Put the grill to warm up and at this time season the chopped zucchini with salt and pepper to taste. To keep the spices better on the pieces of zucchini, gently pat them on top with your palm or fingers. Turn the pieces over and repeat the procedure with salt and pepper again. Do everything quickly so that the zucchini do not have time to give their juice.

5. Step 4:

   

   When the grill surface is already well heated, brush it with olive oil with a silicone brush, lay out the circles / oblong pieces and fry.

6. Step 5:

   

   Fry the zucchini on both sides for 2-3 minutes until beautiful ruddy stripes form. Since everyone's grill works with different power and roasts differently, the cooking time of zucchini may vary. The main thing is not to bring them to a soft state, zucchini turns out tastier when fried quickly.

7. Step 6:

   

   Place the fried zucchini on a plate or dish. They do not require any additional decoration, fresh greens are enough, so they can already be served on the table. But I prefer to serve them together with a sauce of sour cream, garlic and finely chopped dill, or by putting a little sour cream, finely chopped garlic and sprinkling dill on top of each circle in the center. Try it, it turns out very tasty.
