Instructions
Cut zucchinis lengthwise into 4 mm slices. Lightly brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Place a chargrill pan over high heat and chargrill zucchinis for 2 minutes each side or until lightly coloured and tender.
Toss with the sesame oil, chilli and herbs. Serve warm or at room temperature.
