Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Alternatively, you may just brush zucchini with oil as you grill.
This recipe makes a great side dish or accompaniment to lean animal proteins. If you’re vegetarian or vegan, it also makes the perfect source of umami or meaty flavor, without actual meat.
The use of a non-reactive container is also important as the marinade is quite acidic. Otherwise, your dish may taste metallic.
