10-15 BASIL LEAVES, WHOLE OR CHOPPED

METHOD
Preheat the oven to broil and move the top rack to about 6 inches from the element. Thinly slice zucchini, about 1/4 inch thick. It’s easiest if you have a mandolin slicer. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and drizzle oil evenly over foil. Spread zucchini slices in a single layer. Make sure each slice is oiled by flipping. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Flip half way through.
In a medium bowl combine lemon juice, zest, minced garlic, salt, pepper and a drop or two of avocado oil, mix well. Add chopped basil to mix, if desired. Toss with baked zucchini slices. Add fresh basil once plated.
