Servings: persons

1/2 lb zucchini, approximately (1-inch thick slices and about 4-5-inch long)
2 -3 carrots (1/4-inch slices and about 4-5-inch long)
Marinade or Dressing
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove
1/2 tablespoon harissa, to taste (see this super easy homemade version ( Easiest Moroccan Harissa or Hot Sauce)
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin or 1/4 teaspoon cumin seed
1/4 teaspoon caraway seed
juice of half lemon
Garnish
plain yogurt
fresh cilantro (FRESH!) or fresh parsley (FRESH!)
salt, to taste
cracked black pepper, to taste

1
Whisk together the marinade/dressing ingredients.
2
Slice up the vegetables and place on a lined baking sheet or large pan in a single layer.
3
Brush the marinade/dressing onto the slices of vegetables. Turn over and brush on the other side. If time allows, cover and let sit for 1 hour to allow flavors to intensify.
4
Heat up a grill or stove top pan grill on medium heat.
5
Place the vegetables on top and grill on each side until the vegetables have grill marks. The zucchini/squash will probably cook faster than the carrots. The zucchini shouldn't be too mushy but still firm.
6
Transfer to a serving platter. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with the fresh cilantro or fresh parsley. Serve with a bowl of plain yogurt for garnish.
7
Serve warm or at room temperature. Servings are estimated.
