Instructions

    1.
    Peel the zucchini and carefully slice it lengthwise into 6 strips, each about 1/4 inch thick. This ensures they cook evenly and retain a pleasant texture.
    2.
    Brush the zucchini strips generously on all sides with olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste, allowing the flavors to meld together.
    3.
    Heat a griddle pan over medium-high heat. Add the coated zucchini strips and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until tender and nicely charred, achieving beautiful grill marks.
    4.
    To serve, crumble the feta cheese generously over the grilled zucchini. Scatter with toasted pine nuts, chopped fresh mint, and finish with a drizzle of high-quality olive oil for added richness and flavor.
