This vibrant vegetarian dish features grilled courgette infused with a punchy garlic and lemon butter baste. By scoring the vegetables before hititng the grill, the seasoned butter seeps deep into the flesh, creating a wonderful depth of flavour. The addition of a little curry powder and oregano provides a subtle savoury warmth that perfectly balances the bright citrus notes, making this a standout side for any summer cookout.
Perfect for an outdoor barbecue or a quick midweek meal using a griddle pan, these courgettes are both healthy and satisfying. Serve them alongside grilled halloumi or as a fresh accompaniment to roasted meats. The optional dusting of Parmesan cheese adds a salty, crisp finish that elevates the dish into something truly special for family and friends.

Ingredients for Grilled Courgette with Garlic and Lemon Butter Baste
8 medium courgette (about 1.1kg), trimmed, halved lengthwise
110g (1 stick) butter
1 tablespoon frozen unsweetened lemon juice concentrate or 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoons curry powder
30g grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
How to make Grilled Courgette with Garlic and Lemon Butter Baste
Preheat barbecue (medium heat). Score cut side of courgette halves diagonally about 1/4 inch deep at 1-inch intervals. Melt butter with lemon juice concentrate, lemon-pepper seasoning, garlic powder, oregano, and curry powder in heavy small saucepan. Season with salt and pepper. Brush seasoned butter on cut side of courgette. Place courgette on grill and cook until charred on all sides and just beginning to soften, about 12 minutes. If desired, arrange courgette on grill, cut side up, and sprinkle with cheese; close lid of barbecue and cook until cheese just softens, about 1 minute. Transfer courgette to platter.
