- Cut the zucchini crosswise to separate the thicker part from the thinner end
- Slice the thick part in half lengthwise and cut each half into three strips to create batons

- Cut each of those pieces into four parts
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat
- Add a drizzle of olive oil and arrange the zucchini pieces with the cut side facing down
- Grill for about 2 minutes until golden
- Lightly crush the coriander seeds in a mortar and pestle to release the aroma
- Turn the batons over using tongs to brown the opposite side
