Grilled zucchini is the perfect spring and summer side dish. And topped with this flavorful garlic lemon aioli really perfects the dish! It tastes so bright and fresh. The slight char on the zucchini gives it a caramelized taste. Sprinkled with a bit of red pepper chili flakes to give it a touch of spice.
