- 1/4 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 Tbs soy sauce, low sodium
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Directions
- Trim ends off zucchini and slice lengthwise in half, and place in an oblong shallow dish.

- Preheat a gas or charcoal grill.
- Place marinated zucchini slices on grill and cook for 5–10 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and tender. Brush some marinade over the slices as they grill.
