Step-by-Step Instructions for Grilled Zucchini With Goat Cheese
  1. Prepare the zucchini by trimming the ends and slicing them into ½-inch thick strips. Sprinkle salt liberally and let sit for 20 minutes to drain excess water.
  2. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C). Lightly brush the grill grates with oil.
  3. Brush both sides of the zucchini slices with olive or avocado oil and grill them for about 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  4. While the zucchini grills, crumble the goat cheese and chop the fresh basil for topping.
  5. Remove grilled zucchini from the grill, arrange on a plate, and top with crumbled goat cheese, chopped basil, and drizzle honey over the top.
