Easy Grilled Zucchini Recipe
Grilled zucchini is one of the simplest and tastiest ways to enjoy this versatile summer vegetable. When cooked just right, it becomes tender with beautiful charred edges that add a delicious smoky flavor. In this recipe, zucchini slices are brushed with a fragrant mixture of olive oil, garlic, and oregano before hitting the grill.
Ingredients
- 2 zucchinis
- 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin (for dressing)
- olive oil (for grilling)
- 2 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt (preferably pink Himalayan salt) and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Wash the zucchinis and trim the ends. Slice them lengthwise into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Lightly drizzle or brush the zucchini slices with olive oil. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and grill the zucchini for 2–3 minutes on each side, until tender and grill marks appear.
- In a small bowl, combine extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, and salt. Mix well.
- Place the grilled zucchini in a serving dish. Pour the garlic-oregano dressing over the warm zucchini slices and gently toss to coat.
- Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
