Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchini
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp dried parsley
- 2 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt more or less to taste
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes more if you want spicier
Instructions
- Don’t peel the zucchini, just wash it, and wipe it dry.
- Lay it on its side on the cutting board and cut off the stem. Use a sharp knife to slice zucchini lengthwise into slices that are about 1/4 of an inch thick. Don’t make it too thin or it will turn mushy and will be hard to flip on the grill.
- Place sliced zucchini into a large mixing bowl and drizzle it with olive oil. Add seasoning and toss gently until all the slices are evenly seasoned. Set it aside while preparing the grill.
- Prepare charcoal or gas grill to medium-high heat and let it preheat for a few minutes. Make sure the grill grate is completely clean before adding anything to it.
- Use long metal tongs to place zucchini over direct heat and grill for about 3 minutes on each side, depending on thickness of the slices.
- Serve right away!
