Preparation
Step 1
Preheat grill to medium-high. Clean and grease grill grates.
Step 2
Make the tahini yogurt if using ( see notes)
Step 3
Slice the zucchini into 1/3-inch thick slices and place in a large bowl.
Step 4
Drizzle with olive oil and mix to coat well.
Step 5
Add the garlic, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and zaatar spice, and toss to combine until each piece is well coated.
Step 6
Place zucchini slices on the hot grill using tongs. Close the lid and give a good sear, about 3-4 minutes. When there are good grill marks, turn them over, cover, and grill for 3-4 more minutes.
Step 7
Continue grilling until slightly bendy and translucent- be careful not to overcook. Place back in the bowl, add a little squeeze of lemon and adjust salt to taste.
Step 8
Serve over the tahini yogurt sauce ( if using) or on a large plate. Scatter with fresh herbs and serve immediately.
