Ingredients

• 6 medium zucchini
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• Kosher salt and black pepper
• Grated zest of 3 lemons, plus juice of 2 lemons

Directions

1. Lop off the tops and bottoms of the zucchini and quarter them lengthwise. Place in a very large Ziploc bag. Drizzle in the olive oil, then add 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, 1 tbsp. lemon zest and the lemon juice. Seal the bag and smoosh everything around a bit so that the zucchini is coated. Set aside for 15 to 20 minutes to marinate.

2. Preheat a grill to medium. Grill the zucchini, turning, until nice and tender, being careful not to burn it, 12-15 minutes. Remove the zucchini to a plate as it gets done.

3. Pile up the rest of the lemon zest on a cutting board and sprinkle 1 tbsp. salt on top. Use a knife to chop the salt and zest together until it becomes lemon salt. Add more salt if it needs it. Sprinkle the lemon salt over the grilled zucchini.
