Introduction:

These “Special” Zucchini Slices are one of the most beloved summer snacks! Marinated with lemon juice and fresh herbs, they turn out fresh, slightly tangy, and absolutely delicious. I often make them for festive meals, and they’re always the first to disappear from the table. The recipe is simple, but the result is spectacular!

Ingredients:
– 2–3 zucchini
– 3–4 tablespoons lemon juice
– Garlic to taste
– Fresh herbs (dill, parsley, etc.)
– Salt

Instructions:

Preparing the zucchini:
Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise, then slice into thick rounds about 0.7 cm (1/4 inch). Don’t slice them too thin.

Frying:
Fry the zucchini slices on both sides in a pan with a little oil until golden and slightly crispy.

Preparing the marinade:
Finely chop the herbs and garlic, then mix them with the lemon juice and a pinch of salt.

Assembling the snack:
In a dish, layer the fried zucchini slices, sprinkling each layer with the herb and lemon mixture.

Marinating:
Cover the dish and refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the flavors blend perfectly.

Helpful Tips:
If you prefer a lighter version, you can bake the zucchini in the oven, drizzling them with a bit of unrefined vegetable oil instead of frying.

This recipe also works wonderfully with roasted eggplant or red peppers.

Conclusion:
Zucchini marinated in this style make an excellent summer snack—fresh, flavorful, and with a pleasantly tangy lemon kick. Definitely worth trying at least once!
