Broiled Zucchini

Step 1

Preheat the oven to broil and make sure the top rack is about 6 inches from the heating element.

Step 2

Thinly slice the zucchini (¼ inch thick) using a mandolin slicer. It's important to have uniformly thick slices because otherwise it won’t brown evenly.

Step 3

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Drizzle a generous amount of oil, salt and pepper on the foil.

Step 4

Spread the zucchini slices in a single layer on the baking sheet and flip them over to make sure both sides are greased and seasoned. Season the zucchini with a little bit more salt and pepper.

Step 5

Place the tray into the oven and broil for about 8-10 minutes, flipping the slices and rotating the tray halfway through. Be sure to keep a watchful eye on the zucchini! They can go from lightly browned to charcoal in about a minute.

Step 6

Top the zucchini with balsamic vinegar or lemon juice and chopped herbs. Serve!
