Ingredients

  • 4 medium zucchini 1/4-inch thick lengthwise slices (about 1 1/2 pounds worth)
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil divided
  • 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large lemon juiced and zested
  • 1 teaspoon Sicilian oregano

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Slice the zucchini lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Place the zucchini onto a baking sheet and use a pastry brush to brush a 1/4 cup of olive oil onto the slices. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and granulated garlic on both sides.
  2. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill to medium heat.
  3. Grill the zucchini for 2-3 minutes per side or until they are slighlty charred but not falling apart.
  4. Place the cooked zucchini onto a platter and drizzle the lemon juice and remaining olive oil all over the pieces. Sprinkle with the lemon zest and oregano. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Smaller zucchini have a better taste than the larger ones.  
  • Other herbs can be used if desired.  The basil leaves in the pics above were used for garnish while the Sicilian oregano was used for flavor.
  • Leftovers can be saved for up to 3 days in the fridge.  The grilled zucchini can be reheated but is great cold as well.
