When summer is in full swing and temps are soaring, we like to turn to the grill to prepare lots of our meals.
I love to find creative ways to prepare light, fresh veggies during the summer months, and throwing some of my favorite veggies on the grill is an easy way to add tons of flavor to my garden goodies!
Zucchini is one of my favorite veggies to grill during summertime. It holds up beautifully on the grill and develops a subtly nutty flavor. The best part is that it's so EASY to make! You can have this simple side dish on your table in right around 10 minutes! Yes!
HOW TO MAKE GRILLED ZUCCHINI
This grilled zucchini recipe is made by tossing sliced zucchini in olive oil and seasoning before grilling until tender. See below for detailed recipe instructions.CAN I USE A GRILL PAN IF I DON'T HAVE AN OUTDOOR GRILL?
Sure! Grilled zucchini can be prepared on an outdoor gas grill, on a charcoal grill, or indoors on a grill pan.
HOW DO I KNOW IF I OVERCOOKED MY ZUCCHINI?
When zucchini is overcooked it turns from tender and pliable to mushy. You want to remove your zucchini from the grill before it gets to the mushy stage. Make sure you slice your zucchini in uniform slices so that it cooks evenly and be sure to not slice your zucchini too thin. Anything less than 1/2-inch thick will overcook before you get those beautiful grill marks!WHAT TO PUT ON GRILLED ZUCCHINI
If you want to jazz up your zucchini, try serving it with one of these delicious sauces or dips!
