Inspired by the Thomas Keller viral zucchini recipe! One of my favourite side recipes and goes great with steak or bbq. 

Recipe

1. Dice up 3 garlic cloves
2. Slice the zucchini in half. 
3. Score the zucchini so you have an x shape 
4. Salt the zucchini and let it sit for 10 minutes. This draws the liquid out. Then pat dry with paper towel. 
5. Heat up your pan and add olive oil and the diced garlic.
6. Once the garlic is infused in the oil remove all the garlic. You want to avoid the garlic turning a brown colour to avoid the bitterness 
7. Pan fry the zucchini and use parchment paper and anything heavy like a pot to weigh it down so it has good contact. 
8. Remove from the pan once you get a gold caramelized colour. This takes about 6-8 minutes. 
9. Then bake in the oven at 400F for about 15-20 minutes or until soft inside. I prefer it to soft on the inside while still have some bite on the outside. 
10. I serve with sliced fresh basil and and add the reserved good garlic on top
