Don’t just use mint as a dessert garnish. It’s great with zucchini (and many other vegetables) and is a favourite flavour combo in Italy.
Ingredients
Sliced almonds
½ oz, (about 2 Tbsp)
Zucchini
4 medium, (about 8 oz each) sliced into 1/4 in-thick rounds
Olive oil
1 tbsp(s)
Sea salt
½ tsp(s), coarse variety
Black pepper
⅛ tsp(s), freshly ground
Fresh mint leaves
½ cup(s), chopped
Instructions

2
Heat grill to medium-high.
3

Toss zucchini with mint (season to taste, if desired); sprinkle with almonds just before serving.
