How to Make Grilled Zucchini and Feta Flatbread
1. Prep the Zucchini
Toss the zucchini slices with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper.
2. Preheat the Grill
Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Lay the zucchini slices on the grill and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until tender and slightly charred.

Brush flatbreads with a little olive oil and grill for 1–2 minutes per side, just until warm and lightly crispy.

Top the warm flatbreads with grilled zucchini slices, crumbled feta, and lemon zest. Sprinkle with fresh herbs if you want.
What to Serve With It
These flatbreads are amazing by themselves but even better with:

- 🍅 Fresh tomato and cucumber salad
- 🍋 A squeeze of lemon over the top for extra brightness
- 🥒 A side of hummus and pita chips
- 🍷 A crisp white wine or sparkling lemonade
FAQ
Can I use pita instead of flatbread?
Yep! Pita works great—just grill it gently so it doesn’t get too hard.
Can I make it ahead?
You can grill the zucchini and keep it in the fridge. Assemble everything just before eating for the best texture.
What if I don’t like feta?
Swap it for goat cheese, ricotta, or even shredded mozzarella.
Is this recipe good for meal prep?
Sort of! It’s best fresh, but you can prep all the parts ahead and quickly assemble when you’re ready.
Can I add protein?
Totally. Grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas would be awesome on top.
Enjoy!
