Charred Zucchini with Tahini

Name: Charred Zucchini with Tahini
Ingredients: 3-4 zucchini; 2-3 cloves garlic, finely chopped; 3 Tbsp tahini; 1-3 Tbsp cold water; 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil; 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar; 1 tsp salt; 1/2 tsp ground cumin

Smoky charred zucchini tossed with a creamy tahini-garlic dressing, cumin, and apple cider vinegar. A simple broiler-friendly side that turns basic summer squash into something irresistibly savory.

Ingredients

3-4 zucchini
2-3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 Tbsp tahini
1-3 Tbsp cold water
3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cumin

Instructions

Split the zucchini lengthwise and arrange on a sheet pan. Broil until they turn dark brown and charred, then remove and let cool slightly. Slice into small 1/4-inch pieces.
Mix the tahini with cold water a tablespoon at a time, stirring well until it thins and becomes more pourable.
Add the thinned tahini to the chopped zucchini along with the garlic, olive oil, vinegar, salt, and cumin. Toss to combine. Best served at room temperature.
