Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini about 6 to 8 oz each
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil or oregano
  • 1 lemon divided
  • seasoned salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Slice the zucchini into long ½-inch thick slices and place them on a plate or baking sheet.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic, basil, salt & pepper. Squeeze half of the lemon over the zucchini and toss to coat.
  4. Add the strips to the preheated grill in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until tender crisp.
  5. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Zucchini can be tossed in the seasonings and marinated for up to 24 hours in advance.
  • Cutting larger veggies helps ensure they don't slip through the grate.
  • If you're using a really large garden zucchini, cut the zucchini in half and remove the seeds if needed. The zucchini can be cut into large ½ moons instead. An extra large zucchini may have tougher skin that can be peeled if you'd like.
  • Zucchini cooks very fast, so ensure it doesn't overcook! Don't cut the zucchini too thin. 
  • If you've grilled meat, the zucchini can be cooked while the meat rests.
  • If you have fresh herbs, they are best sprinkled on the zucchini after cooking.
