By á-70803

Ingredients

• 3 Tbsp crumbled feta cheese
• 2 Tbsp mint leaves, minced
• 1 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 2 medium uncooked scallion(s), minced
• 4 small uncooked zucchini, about 1 1/2 lbs
• 4 spray(s) cooking spray
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine feta, mint, oil, lemon juice, lemon zest and scallions; set aside.

Trim ends off zucchini and slice in half lengthwise; slice each half into 4 or 5 chunks. Place zucchini on a baking sheet (or other flat surface) in a single layer; coat both sides with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt.

Off heat, coat a grill rack or grill pan with cooking spray; heat over high heat. Cook zucchini, carefully flipping once, until grill marks are evident and zucchini is softened, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Arrange zucchini slices on a platter and serve with reserved feta topping. Yields about 5 chunks zucchini and 1 heaping tablespoon feta topping per serving.
