Description
This grilled zucchini is great hot off the grill or at room temperature. Learn how to grill zucchini with Parmesan to add a tasty twist to this summer classic.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pounds zucchini (cut into 1/2 inch strips)
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoon fresh Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoon fresh basil (chopped)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your grill to 450°F. Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice the zucchini lengthwise into ½ inch thick strips.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, mix together oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Gently toss the zucchini strips in the mixture, coating evenly.
- Step 3: Place the zucchini strips carefully on the grill, using tongs if needed. Reserve the balsamic mixture.
- Step 4: Grill the zucchini until charred on one side, about 10 minutes. Flip the zucchini and grill the other side for about 3-4 minutes, until the zucchini is cooked but not falling apart.
- Step 5: Transfer the zucchini to a platter, drizzle with the remaining balsamic mixture, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil. Serve!
Notes
If you have smaller/shorter zucchini, they may fall through the grill so use a grill basket or pan if necessary. Try not to overcook, as the zucchini can become mushy quickly. Be sure to cut the zucchini consistently at ½ inch thick to ensure even cooking and to avoid under or overcooked zucchini.
