Perfect Grilled Zucchini
Description
This recipe starts with zucchini sliced about a quarter-inch thick, then coated evenly with extra virgin olive oil, a splash of red wine vinegar, dried parsley, basil, and garlic powder. Light seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper enhances the flavors. The zucchini is grilled over a hot grill for a few minutes on each side, allowing it to soften while developing subtle smoky notes from the char.
Grilled zucchini works well as a side dish alongside grilled meats, fish, or as part of a vegetable platter. Its tender texture and herb-infused taste make it a simple but flavorful addition to summer meals or barbecues.
Ingredients
- 2 zucchini about 8 oz each, sliced 1/4 inch thick, medium
- 1 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin)
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp parsley dried
- 1 tsp basil dried
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- kosher salt
- black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- Preheat grill on medium-high. In a large bowl, toss zucchini with oil, red wine vinegar, parsley, basil, and garlic powder. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper, to taste.
- Once grill is hot, carefully use tongs to rub an oiled paper towel over grates to clean.
- Using tongs, place zucchini on grill. Cover and cook, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking on high, covered, 2 to 3 minutes more
- When zucchini is tender, remove from heat, taste for salt and adjust as needed and eat right away.
