Equipment

- Barbecue or skillet
- Garlic press (optional)

Ingredients
- 3 Zucchini
- 1 Garlic clove
- small bunch Mint
- Roasted Almonds crushed
- Extra virgin olive oil As much as required
- Balsamic vinegar As much as preferred
- Salt As much as required
- Pepper As much as preferred
Instructions
- Cut zucchini in thin slices diagonally and lay on a wooden board to the side.
- Crush one clove of garlic and put it in a small bowl then add a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil.
- Pour in the balsamic vinegar (to your liking) and stir the mixture briskly.
- Heat up the grill on your BBQ or a skillet on the stove and place the zucchini on top.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes or until lines start to appear on the side you’re cooking. Onvce they have started to brown, turn each one over and cook on the other side too – this side probably won’t take as long so keep your eye on them.
- Once ready, transfer them on to your serving board or platter and sprinkle salt and pepper on top.
- Drizzle dressing from the small bowl all over the grilled zucchini until they are all smothered and glistening.
- Break mint into small pieces and sprinkle on top before adding the almonds too.
- Repeat the process, slightly overlapping second layer of zucchini over the first.
