Step 1:
How to fry zucchini in a grill pan without oil? Very simple! First, prepare all the necessary ingredients according to the list. I used ordinary zucchini with pale green skin. Young zucchini is also suitable.
Step 2:
Wash and dry the zucchini. Cut off the tips on both sides. Cut the zucchini lengthwise into slices no more than 1 cm thick. You can use a vegetable peeler.
Step 3:
Sprinkle the chopped zucchini with dried herbs, salt and pepper and leave for 5-7 minutes so that the spices are absorbed. Before roasting, it is better to blot the zucchini with napkins. Optionally, you can lubricate the zucchini with vegetable oil, but in this recipe, zucchini are cooked without oil.
Step 4:
Heat the grill pan well over medium heat. Lay out the slices of zucchini and fry until the characteristic browned prints appear from the corrugated surface of the pan for about 1-2 minutes. It is important not to move the zucchini in the pan, otherwise a clear, beautiful pattern will shift.
Step 5:
Then flip the slices to the other side and fry until scorched on the other side. If desired, you can cook zucchini in a regular frying pan.
Step 6:
Put the finished zucchini on a plate. Serve as an independent hot or cold snack or as a side dish to meat, poultry or fish. Bon appetit!

Which zucchini will work best? Choose young fruits with tender skins. Wash them and peel them. It is not necessary to cut off a very thin skin. If you use large mature zucchini, it is better to cut them into thin circles.

Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper).
