In a bowl, combine the goat cheese, fresh thyme, garlic powder, and lemon zest. Mix until well combined and smooth.
Step 6
Spread a generous amount of the goat cheese mixture on one side of half of the grilled zucchini slices.
Step 7

Step 8
Thread the cherry tomatoes onto metal or soaked wooden skewers.

Serve the zucchini goat cheese toasts warm, either as individual toasts or skewered with grilled cherry tomatoes for a complete bite.
