Ingredients

2 large courgettes

1tbsp olive oil

1tbsp Dijon mustard

Juice ½ lemon

4tbsp toasted mixed seeds, such as Asda Four Seed Mix

½tsp chilli flakes

Method

1
Fire up the barbecue. You will need 8–10 small skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak in water while the barbecue is heating up to stop them from burning.
2
Meanwhile, slice each courgette in half lengthways then cut in half widthways so that you have eight courgette ‘lollipops’.
3
Stick a skewer into the end of each courgette piece then drizzle with the olive oil.
4
Put the skewers on the barbecue and cook for 5–6 mins on each side, turning regularly until the courgettes have strong griddle marks on all sides and are just cooked.
5
Meanwhile, make the dressing. Whisk together the mustard, lemon juice, and 1tbsp of water in a shallow bowl, then season with black pepper. Tip the toasted seeds and chilli flakes onto a plate.
6
One by one, as each courgette slice is cooked, take it off the barbecue and dunk it into the Dijon dressing, then straight into the toasted chilli seeds before serving.
