Ingredients
  

  • 2 zucchini, sliced thin - approximately 1/8" thick (see Ingredients Notes)
  • ¼ cup tajín, more or less to taste - or homemade tajín
  • ¼ cup olive oil for brushing +/-

Instructions

  • Slice the zucchini 1/8" thick. Bend a slice to make sure it's thin enough.
  • Preheat grill to high - 450°-500°.
  • Lay the thin-sliced zucchini out on a baking sheet. Brush lightly with oil. Sprinkle with tajín. Repeat on the other side.
  • Weave the sliced zucchini on to skewers (refer to photos).
  • Grill on each side. This should mean turning 2-3 times. You want the lovely charred bits and some nice caramelization. Grilling takes about 10 minutes.

Notes

Tajín seasoning includes salt, so I don't recommend additional salt.
