Ingredients
  

  • 4 small zucchini
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) Napa Valley olive oil to brush zucchini; since there are so few ingredients, use the best olive oil you have for this recipe
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) Greek Seasoning more or less to taste, but use a generous amount
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) crumbled Feta Cheese more or less to taste, but this is great with a generous amount of Feta

Method
 

  1. Wash the zucchini, trim the ends, and cut small zucchinis into four lengthwise pieces and larger ones into six.
  2. Trim away the seeds along the edge if using larger zucchinis.
  3. Brush both sides of the zucchini with olive oil and season generously with Greek seasoning.
  4. Preheat a stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat until hot to ensure distinct grill marks.
  5. Place the zucchini flat-side down across the grill grates and cook for approximately 3 minutes, checking for grill marks.
  6. Flip the zucchini to the other flat side and cook for another 3 minutes, ensuring grill marks develop.
  7. Turn the zucchini skin-side down and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  8. Arrange the grilled zucchini on a serving platter, top with feta cheese, and serve.

Notes

Ingredient Swap: If you find yourself without a pre-made Greek blend, I usually mix dried oregano with garlic powder and a touch of dried lemon peel to capture that signature Mediterranean soul.
