- 1 tsp Lemon Zest
- 1 tsp Sea Salt
- ¼ tsp Black Pepper

Instructions
- Preheat Your Gas Grill: Turn on your gas grill and heat it up until temperature stays around 350-400 degrees.
- Prepare Your Zucchini: Wash zucchini and cut lengthwise into ¼” strips using a very sharp knife. You could also use a mandolin. You should be able to get 4-5 strips out of one medium zucchini.

- Grill Zucchini: Place zucchini on a preheated grill and cook on one side covered for 3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes covered or until zucchini is cooked through but not mushy.
- Serve: Remove from grill and add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Serve hot.
Foil Packet Instructions:

Notes
Storage Instructions: Place the slices in a single layer in an airtight container. To keep it from getting soggy, use parchment paper in between. Keep it refrigerated for up to 3-4 days.
Reheating instructions: To reheat grilled zucchini, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), spread the zucchini in a single layer on a baking sheet, and heat for 5-10 minutes or until warmed through.
