Step 1

Preheat your grill. Score the fleshy cut side of the zucchini halves with a few small shallow slits. This will help the butter sauce to penetrate the veggies; it will also make them cook quicker and more evenly. Place the zucchini slices skin side down, cut side up on a plate.

Step 2

Whisk together melted butter, parsley, lemon juice, lemon zest, white pepper, salt and garlic.

Step 3

Baste the cut side of the zucchini generously with the melted butter sauce.

Step 4

Place the zucchini on a medium hot grill, green sides down, basted sides up.

Step 5

Grill the zucchini for 6 minutes, then flip. Continue to grill for another 6-8 minutes till tender.

Step 6

Serve garnished with fresh lemon wedges and chopped parsley, if desired. Goes great with tzatziki sauce.
