Grilled Zucchini Foil Packs
Description
This recipe uses fresh zucchini sliced into large pieces and tossed with olive oil, salt, pepper, and minced garlic. The seasoned zucchini is placed inside a foil packet, sealing in moisture during grilling. Cooking the packs over direct grill heat for about 5 minutes per side results in tender zucchini with grilled hints while retaining its natural juiciness.
The foil packet technique traps steam and flavors, making for an easy-to-prepare vegetable side without drying out or burning. Opening the packets immediately after grilling helps prevent the zucchini from overcooking and becoming soggy.
This dish pairs well with grilled meats or can be served simply as a light, flavorful vegetable portion during warm weather meals.
Ingredients
- 3 zucchini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoon garlic minced
Instructions
- Lay out 1 sheet of foil.
- Cut zucchini into large pieces.
- Place on the piece of foil.
- Drizzle with olive oil
- Season with salt, pepper, and minced garlic
- Fold up the foil, making a foil packet.
- Place packet on the grill for about 5 minutes per side, flipping one time in the middle of that.
- Open the packet immediately.
Notes
- Zucchini continues cooking from residual heat after removing foil from the grill; open packets quickly and remove zucchini before it becomes too soft.
