  1. Prepare the Courgettes: Wash and dry the courgettes. Slice them lengthways into even 1cm-thick pieces.
  2. Make the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and chilli flakes. Stir well.
  3. Marinate: Brush the courgettes with the marinade on both sides. Let sit for at least 10 minutes.
  4. Preheat the Grill: Heat the grill to medium-high (400-450°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
