Directions

  1. 1Grab a couple of good-looking zucchinis, cut them in half, then square them diagonally with a sharp knife.
  2. 2Sprinkle them with salt, then let them sit for about 20 minutes so that you can dab away that excess moisture.
  3. 3Add avocado oil to a pan, then cook them for about 6 minutes face down.
  4. 4Put them in the oven for 5 minutes, remove, flip and put them back in the oven for another 5 minutes face up.
  5. 5Meanwhile, prepare the garlicky feta base by mixing feta cheese, mint leaves, garlic, and lemon zest in a food processor.
  6. 6Serve the roasted zucchini with the feta base, crushed pistachios, fresh mint, and lemon zest.
