Ingredients
- 1 lb.
small zucchini (about 3), quartered lengthwise
- 3 Tbsp.
olive oil, divided
Kosher salt and pepper
- 1
clove garlic
- 1/4 cup
tahini
- 2 Tbsp.
fresh lemon juice
- 3 Tbsp.
mint leaves, divided
- 1 Tbsp.
pine nuts, toasted
Directions
1. Heat grill to medium. Toss zucchini with 1 tablespoon oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt and grill until tender and evenly charred, 8 to 10 minutes.
2. Transfer zucchini to blender along with garlic, tahini, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon mint and pulse to combine. With motor running on low speed, drizzle in remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and puree until mostly smooth, increasing blender speed if necessary.
