How long should I marinate the zucchini?

Allow the grilled zucchini to marinate at room temperature for about 1 hour before serving to fully absorb the red wine vinegar and garlic flavors. For deeper flavor, refrigerate longer.

What's the best way to grill the zucchini?

Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange zucchini cut side down and grill for about 4 minutes until browned, then flip and cook for 2 more minutes until tender.

What does red wine vinegar add to the marinade?

Red wine vinegar provides a bright, tangy acidity to the marinade, balancing the richness of the olive oil and enhancing the flavors of the garlic and fresh coriander.

Is this dish served warm or cold?

This Marinated Zucchini is best served after marinating at room temperature for an hour, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. It can also be served chilled after longer refrigeration.

How should I store leftover Marinated Zucchini?

Store any leftover marinated zucchini in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will continue to absorb the flavors and is delicious served cold the next day.

How to Prepare Marinated Zucchini [Vegan]

Heat 1 tablespoons of coconut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange the zucchini cut side down in one layer in the hot skillet and grill until browned, about 4 minutes. Use a fork to turn the zucchini over, then cook them until tender, about 2 minutes.
Transfer the zucchini to a plate.
Whisk together the garlic, vinegar, and 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the vinaigrette over the zucchini and add the coriander leaves.
Gently toss everything together. Let the zucchini marinate at room temperature for about 1 hour before serving. Or let marinate longer in the refrigerator.
