How to Make Broiled Zucchini

  1. Preheat your broiler to high.
  2. Wash and slice one medium zucchini (about 6 inches long) into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  3. Lightly brush both sides of the zucchini slices with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
  4. Season generously with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper.
  5. Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  6. Broil for 5-7 minutes per side, or until tender and slightly charred, flipping halfway through. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  7. Remove from broiler and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or dill, if desired.
