Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

For the Grilled Zucchini:

  • 8 Zucchini Large, sliced in half longways
  • 3 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • Salt To taste
  • Pepper To taste

For the Sauce:

  • ¼ Cup Olive Oil
  • ¼ Cup Coconut Aminos
  • ¼ Cup Honey Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp Jamaican Walkerswood Green Seasoning
  • ¼ Tsp Garlic Salt
  • Fresh Ground Pepper To taste

For the Garnish (optional):

  • Crispy Shallot

Instructions
 

Prepare Sauce

  • Begin by combining all the sauce ingredients—such as fresh herbs, garlic, balsamic vinegar, and honey.
  • Whisk the mixture until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency, then set it aside to allow the flavors to meld together.
    Hint: You can pre-make this in a food processor and seal in an airtight container before you hit the great outdoors.

Prepare Zucchini

  • Take each zucchini and carefully cut it in half lengthwise, ensuring you create even halves for even cooking.
  • Sprinkle salt on the cut sides of the zucchini to draw out some of the moisture.
    Hint: If you have the time, this extra step helps enhance the flavor and texture. Let the zucchini sit for about 15 minutes before rinsing and patting them dry. If you're short on time, you can skip the salting step and proceed to make crosshatch cuts down the inside halves of each zucchini.These cuts will help the flavors penetrate better while cooking.
  • After that, rub each half generously with olive oil, and season with salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste.

Time to Grill

  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and place the zucchini on the grill with the flat side down.
  • Grill your zucchini until they reach your desired level of tenderness or char (typically about 4-5 minutes), then carefully flip them over to cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Finishing Touches

  • Once the zucchini is perfectly grilled, remove them from the grill and immediately brush the flat sides with the honey balsamic and Jamaican green sauce. This adds a delightful sweetness and tang that complements the smoky flavor of the zucchini.
  • Garnish the grilled zucchini with crispy shallots for added crunch and flavor. Serve immediately while they're warm and enjoy the delicious blend of tastes and textures.
