Ingredients
- 8 ounces zucchini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 tablespoon pine nuts
- mint
- salt & pepper
Instructions
- Slice the zucchini, on the bias, 1/8 – 1/4 inch thick. Roast the pine nuts in the oven or in a skillet.
- Heat up your grill or grill pan and place the zucchini slices on top. Cook for a few minutes, until you see the grill lines appear on one side. Turn the slices.
- Cook a few minutes on the other side, until both sides have these beautiful marks. Don’t grill them too long, you don’t want them to become soggy, you still want some bite left in them.
- Transfer slices to a serving plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Make the dressing by mixing olive oil with a good quality balsamic vinegar. Drizzle the dressing over the zucchini slices. Sprinkle the mint (cut or torn) over the zucchini as well as the roasted pine nuts.
