Ingredients
- 3-4 large courgettes, thickly sliced lengthways
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tbsp chopped rosemary
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Step by step
Get ahead
The courgettes can be marinated overnight.
- Put all the ingredients (reserve the squeezed lemon halves for later) in a bowl or sealable plastic bag with some seasoning and gently mix together, ensuring the courgettes get covered in the oily marinade. These can be marinating just while the barbecue gets hot, so around 30 minutes, or overnight in the fridge. To cook indoors, heat a griddle pan until hot.
- Remove the courgettes from the marinade and grill for 4-6 minutes each side until browned all over and soft in the middle. Add the lemon halves at the same time, placed cut-side down on the grill. This will release more juice and give a lovely caramelised flavour. Serve the courgettes on a platter, season, and squeeze over the charred lemon halves to serve.
