Step-by-Step Instructions

Trim the ends of the zucchini and slice it lengthwise into ½-inch thick pieces. Generously sprinkle with salt and let rest for about 20 minutes.
Pat the zucchini dry with a paper towel, then brush both sides with olive oil or avocado oil.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, around 400°F (204°C).
Grill the zucchini slices for 10 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and tender.
Arrange the grilled zucchini on a platter, crumble goat cheese on top, sprinkle basil, and drizzle with honey. Season with salt and pepper.
