Ingredients

  • 5 zucchini small
  • 1 tbsp oil avocado or olive
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  • Slice the tops and bottoms off the zucchini using a large sharp knife and cutting board. Then slice the zucchini in half length-wise so there are two long pieces. Place the halves in a large bowl.
  • Measure out the oil with a measuring spoon and drizzle it over the zucchini. Do the same with the kosher salt. Use your hands to rub the salt and oil over the zucchini until each piece is well coated.
  • Turn on your grill to 400 degrees F. Once it comes to temperature, place the zucchini with the skin side down (the darker side that’s curved) with a pair of tongs. Cook for 3 minutes, then flip the zucchini with the tongs and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, depending on the size and thickness of the zucchini. Remove from the grill and sprinkle with red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.
