This grilled zucchini recipe is the perfect summer side dish! It's quick and easy to make, and the zucchini has a delicious firm-yet-tender texture. Herbs and lemon juice fill it with fresh flavor.
Ingredient
2 medium zucchini, sliced lengthwise into ¼-inch-thick planks
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Lemon wedges, for squeezing
Chopped fresh parsley or basil leaves
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Direction
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium.
Place the zucchini on a large plate or tray, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with the garlic powder and pinches of salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
Grill for 1 to 3 minutes per side, or until char marks form and the zucchini is tender but still has some bite.
Remove from the grill and squeeze with lemon juice. Garnish with fresh herbs, season to taste, and serve.
