Garlic marinated zucchini.

I eat zucchini quite often now in my adult life but believe it or not, I haven’t always enjoyed zucchini. Shocking, I know. A couple of summers ago, John would grill out a lot and he would always grill squash and zucchini. From then on, I’ve developed a love for zucchini. Growing up, we didn’t eat a lot of zucchini and it wasn’t something I was going to bring up to my parents. Could you imagine that conversation? “Hey mom and dad, I’d really prefer it if we ate more zucchini.” Yeah, that wasn’t a conversation I was going to have. No one needed to know that zucchini was missing from my life. I bet though, if my parents made garlic marinated zucchini, I would have been totally into it.

Anyway, now I’m an adult and since I cook for myself, I can finally appreciate the beauty and flavor of zucchini. It’s great grilled, fried and even baked. I found this garlic marinated zucchini recipe over on The Kitchn, one of my favorite websites, and I was intrigued. The ingredients were simple – most of which I already had in the kitchen and it was another way to enjoy zucchini. This recipe seemed like a win/win recipe.

Garlic marinated zucchini - an easy side dish.I will say this though, garlic is amazing, I cook with it all the time but it always doesn’t make your breath smell nice, you know? This recipe in particular will definitely give you the urge to brush your teeth afterwards but wow is this delicious! Between the garlic cloves and the chopped basil in this recipe, there’s just so many layers of flavor in this dish with less than 10 ingredients.

Serve this dish with braised chicken or something light like a baked fish. This would be a perfect side for a BBQ.
