Grilled Zucchini With Toasted Cumin-Lime Marinade

Be sure not to grill your zucchini too much or it will lose its crunch. You could use a medley of vegetables, such as sweet peppers, red onions, cherry tomatoes and eggplant. This marinade doubles as a fantastic dressing for salads.

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tsp honey
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/2 tsp each: ground black pepper, toasted and crushed cumin seeds
  • 4 small zucchini, halved lengthwise

In small bowl, combine oil, lime juice, honey, salt, pepper and cumin.

Grill zucchini, cut side up, directly over medium heat. Brush with marinade. Grill until crisp-tender, about 5 to 7 minutes, turning once and brushing with marinade.

Place on serving platter and brush with remaining marinade.

Makes 4 servings.
