Easy Grilled Zucchini (Summer Squash)
A super simple way to make zucchini even more delicious! Very quick, very easy, very yummy along side steak, chicken, fish, BBQ, and other grilled meats!
Equipment
- Knife and Cutting Board
- basting brush
- BBQ or Grill
Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchini Sliced into long thin slices
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Remove both ends of each zucchini
- Either stand them up or lay them down flat on the cutting board and use a wide sharp knife like a Santoku, chefs knife, or vegetable cleaver to make long slices end to end. You want slabs around 1/4" [6-7mm] thick.
- Brush each slice with olive oil or avocado oil, then season liberally with salt and pepper. You can try other seasonings you like as well.
- Heat your grill to medium heat and once hot lay out each slice. Orient them so they wont slip through the grill.
- Grill for 3-5 minutes per side (It will grill faster with the lid closed) until the zucchini is tender and there are clearly defined grill marks.
- Serve fresh off the grill alongside BBQ chicken, pork, kebab, steak or any of your favourite grilled meat!
Notes
Leftovers and reheating: If you manage not to eat all of these, you can store them in the fridge for up to a week and reheat on the grill or in the oven for best results.
This same method of cooking can really be used for almost any vegetable.
