2. Heat grill pan (or gas grill) over medium heat. Working in batches, brush one side of zucchini lightly with olive oil and grill 1 minute. Transfer grilled zucchini sheets to cutting board, grilled side down, and let cool slightly. Place two basil leaves on one end of each zucchini sheet section.
