Lemon Butter Grilled Zucchini
Description
The Lemon Butter Grilled Zucchini recipe uses fresh zucchini sliced in two directions to create manageable pieces for grilling. The cooking involves quickly grilling each side just long enough to develop grill marks without overcooking, which keeps the zucchini tender but not mushy. A butter-based sauce mixed with lemon juice and chopped parsley is brushed onto the zucchini during grilling to infuse flavor and moisture. The lemon offers a bright, slightly acidic contrast to the buttery richness, while the parsley adds a mild herbal note.
This grilled zucchini pairs well with various main dishes, particularly grilled meats or fish, and can be served warm as a vegetable side. The preparation leverages simple, readily available ingredients and a straightforward grilling method to bring out the best texture and taste of the zucchini.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs. zucchini
- 4 tablespoons butter melted, salted
- 3/4 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 tablespoon parsley chopped
Instructions
- Trim both ends of the zucchinis. Slice each zucchini in half lengthwise, then cut into horizontal slices about 1/4 inch thick.
- Prepare the lemon butter mixture by mixing together the butter, lemon juice, and chopped parsley.
- Grill the zucchinis on an outdoor grill. Brush the lemon butter mixture onto the surface of the zucchinis on each side and grill for about 1 minute, or until char marks form. Turn them over and grill the other side, being careful not to overcook. Serve warm.
