Marinate the Courgettes
In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced courgettes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure that the courgettes are evenly coated.

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the marinated courgettes on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
