Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons harissa paste
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the zucchini. Slice each zucchini lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick planks.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, harissa paste, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 3
Brush both sides of the zucchini slices generously with the spice mixture using a pastry brush.
Step 4
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Place the zucchini slices on the grill in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until grill marks appear and the zucchini is tender but not mushy.
Step 6
Remove the zucchini from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Step 7
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the grilled zucchini for garnish.
Step 8
Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish or a light vegan main course.
