  1. Reserve some herb leaves for garnish and finely chop the rest of the herbs. Combine all ingredients except zucchini in a medium sized bowl. Whisk well and set marinade aside.
  2. Wash zucchini and trim stem and blossom end off. Slice diagonally to make ovals. Add slices to the marinate and toss well. Let sit to marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 4 hours.
  3. Heat a non stick frying pan over medium heat. Once preheated, add zucchini slices in a single layer to the pan. (No additional oil is needed.) Fry until spots start to get golden brown and the zucchini is softening. Flip and fry other side until zucchini is as soft as you like. Approximately 4-5 minutes per side.Remove from pan and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Finished zucchini antipasti will last well in the fridge for up to 5 days. Remove from fridge and bring to room temperature or warm gently in a pan before serving.
  • Do not freeze leftovers.
