Method

Step-by-step Instructions

Wash the zucchini thoroughly, trim off both ends, and slice them lengthwise into ½-inch thick strips.
Sprinkle the zucchini slices generously with salt and allow them to sit for about 20 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
Pat the zucchini slices dry with a paper towel. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C), and brush the zucchini with olive oil.
Place the coated zucchini slices on the preheated grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Remove the grilled zucchini and top with goat cheese, basil, and a drizzle of honey.
Season with salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste, and serve warm.
