Notes
- When picking zucchini to grill, you want to make sure they are all roughly the same size. Large zucchini tend to have more water and may become soggy on the grill.
- When chopping, cut everything the same size to ensure everything cooks evenly and at the same time.
- Use a cooking oil with a high smoke point such as avocado oil or canola oil to prevent the zucchini from sticking to the grill and burning.
- If you're using an outdoor grill, make sure to oil the grates before cooking to prevent sticking.
- The zucchini is cooked when it's tender on the inside and slightly charred on the outside.
