Best Grilled Zucchini Recipe (Kid-Friendly!)
This grilled zucchini is the perfect summer side dish! Pairs wonderfully with grilled meat and a great way to use up your extra zucchini!
Equipment
- grill
- small bowl
- tongs
- pastry brush
- knife
- cutting board
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp Tones Italian Seasoning
- 3 tbsp White Sugar
- 3 tbsp Dried Chopped Onions
- 2 tsp Salt
- 2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 2 tsp Onion Powder
- Small Zucchini (I usually make 4 zucchini for my family of 6)
- 3-4 tbsp Olive Oil
Instructions
- Heat your grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, mix the Italian seasoning, sugar, dried chopped onions, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder together.
- Keep your seasoning dry so that you can use the unused portion another day. If possible, place your seasonings mixture in an empty spice shaker bottle.
- Next, on a cutting board, slice your zucchini lenghwise in 1/3 to 1/2 inch strips (or you might call them zucchini planks!)
- Pour a bit of olive oil into a small bowl. Using a pastry brush, brush the zucchini with olive oil on both sides.
- Sprinkle ONE side of the zucchini with a generous portion of the seasoning mixture.(I add the seasoning to the inner portion, not the green skin side as it doesn’t stick as well to the zucchini skin.)
- When your grill is hot, place your zucchini on the grill.
- I place the zucchini plain side down and seasoning side up first.
- Cook for 5 minutes. Then, flip each zucchini slice with tongs.
- Then cook another 5 minutes. Make sure you close your grill lid, so that it can reach the proper temperature.
- The zucchini should be tender-crisp with grill marks when it is ready.Serve immediately.
