## Ingredients

- 2 zucchini
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 4 ounces feta cheese
- 1 handful mint leaves
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 handful pistachios
- 1 lemon

## Instructions

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