How to Make Zucchini Taste AMAZING With Just a Few Ingredients

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated mozzarella

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Wash two lemons and set aside with a sharp knife, cutting board, and microplane or grater.

Crumble 1/2 cup of feta cheese and keep it in a small bowl near the lemons.

Gather and chop a variety of fresh herbs (dill, fenugreek, curry leaves) and toss them together in a bowl.

Rinse the zucchinis under cool water, trim the ends, and cut each zucchini in half lengthwise, then into 1-inch chunks on an angle.

Heat a cast iron skillet on moderate high heat, either on a barbecue or stovetop.

Add 1/4 cup of avocado oil to the hot skillet, then add the zucchini chunks in a single layer without overcrowding.

Cook the zucchini for about 2 minutes until browned on one side, then turn to cook the other raw edge until browned.

Transfer the cooked zucchini to a platter and repeat the cooking process until all zucchini is seared.

Sprinkle the cooked zucchini with crumbled feta cheese.

Zest both lemons over the zucchini and feta using the microplane.

Squeeze the juice from one of the zested lemons over the zucchini and cheese.

Sprinkle the freshly chopped herbs generously over the dish.

If desired, finely dice 1 small bird's eye pepper and sprinkle it over the dish for extra heat.

Chop the toasted pistachios and sprinkle them over the platter.

If using, sprinkle sea salt flakes on top before serving.
