Grilled Zucchini with Arugula and Mint Pesto

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini squash (or 1 zucchini and 1 yellow summer squash)
  • 1 teaspoon avocado oil or olive oil
  • salt and pepper, as desired
  • 3 Tablespoons Arugula and Mint Pesto (see separate recipe)

Preparation

  1. Cut zucchini and/or yellow summer squash into thirds through the middle. Slice each third of the squash lengthwise into thin planks or slabs (rectangles) about 1/8 inch thick. Place into a bowl and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper, if desired.
  2. Grill or roast the zucchini until slightly marked or lightly browned. Place on a platter or serving dish in a single layer and smear a small dollop of the pesto onto the slices.
  3. Serve warm, at room temperature or even chilled - always delicious! Great on sandwiches, pizza or in salads and wraps too!
