Method

1. Wash the zucchini and slice them into 1/2 cm thick rounds or long strips.
2. Heat a grill pan or non-stick skillet over high heat until smoking.
3. Grill the zucchini slices for 3-4 minutes per side until charred grill marks appear.
4. In a small separate pan, toast the almonds over medium heat for 2 minutes until fragrant, then roughly chop them.
5. Arrange the grilled zucchini on a serving plate.
6. Dress with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and the grated zest of the lemon.
7. Top with the toasted almonds and fresh mint leaves before serving.

Tips

• To keep the zucchini firm, avoid stacking them while they are still hot.
• These are excellent served cold the next day; store them in an airtight container in the fridge.
