I'm a big fan of vegetables, especially grilled vegetables. One of my favorite vegetables to prepare on the grill are zucchini as it has very little prep time and they taste great with simple seasonings. Below, I've gone ahead and included the directions for how I grill my zucchinis and it only takes about 10 minutes to prepare them on a gas grill.
What you'll need:
2-3 medium zucchinis
1 tbsp of salt
1 tbsp of fresh ground pepper
1 tbsp of garlic powder
1 tsp of cayenne pepper
1 tsp of paprika
Olive oil
Gas grill or oven
Preparation
Mix all the dry seasoning together in a bowl.
Clean and wash zucchinis; peeling the skin is optional. Afterwards, cut the zucchinis lengthwise in to slices about a 1/4" thick. Place the cut slices on a cookie sheet or a basking container and generously drizzle olive oil over. Sprinkle the seasoning on to the slices coated in olive oil.
Cooking
Set the grill on high heat (450º F); arrange the zucchinis on the grill until browned on both sides which takes about 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a plate and serve hot or at room temperature.
Oven directions: If you don't have a grill, you can also use the oven by using the broil function. Simply set the oven to broil and put the zucchinis on the top rack. Broil each side for about 2-3 minutes and you will obtain the same results.
