Ingredients

  • 2 courgettes
  • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • dried rosemary, black pepper and salt

Toppings

  • 70-100 gr feta cheese (crumbled)
  • 1/2 lemon (zest)
  • 1 tbsp sunflower seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 220ºC. Set a pan to medium heat, and mix the olive oil, herbs, salt and pepper in a glass.

  2. Slice each courgette in half, lengthwise, then chop each half into 2-3 pieces (or keep each half whole). Using a brush or, if you don't have one, a spoon, paint the inside of each courgette piece with the olive mixture. When the pan is hot, grill the courgettes for 2 mins on each side, or until it's light-brown toasted.

  3. Place the courgettes on a baking tray in the oven, bake for 15 minutes then sprinkle some feta cheese on them. Bake for another 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is slightly melted/toasted.

  4. Remove from oven and sprinkle lemon zest and sunflower seeds. Enjoy with a side salad or use as a side itself!
