Grilled Zucchini Planks

Grilled Zucchini Planks are a deliciously smoky and tender vegan dish, perfect for summer barbecues. Marinated in a zesty herb mixture, these planks are not only easy to prepare but also packed with flavor.

Ingredients

• Zucchini - 2 medium (about 400g)
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Balsamic vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Dried thyme - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
2. Wash and trim the ends of the zucchinis, then slice them lengthwise into 1.5 cm thick planks.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
4. Add the zucchini planks to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
5. Once the grill is hot, place the zucchini planks directly on the grill grates.
6. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they have grill marks and are tender.
7. Remove from the grill and serve warm as a side dish or appetizer.
