Ingredients
Zucchini (1 large, or as needed)
Olive oil (for brushing and greasing the grates)
Kosher salt
Black pepper
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Italian seasoning (dried blend of basil, oregano, rosemary, and thyme)
grated Parmesan cheese
fresh parsley or basil
Instructions
1-Prepare the zucchini: Cut lengthwise into ½-inch-thick slices, keeping skin on for shape; one large zucchini yields 3–4 slices.
2-Mix the seasoning: Combine ½ tsp kosher salt, ½ tsp Italian seasoning, ¼ tsp black pepper, ¼ tsp garlic powder, and ¼ tsp onion powder.
3-Oil and season: Brush both sides of each slice with olive oil, then sprinkle seasoning mixture evenly over both sides.
4-Preheat the grill: Heat gas grill to medium (350–375°F), clean grates, and lightly oil them.
5-Grill the zucchini: Place slices at a 45-degree angle on grates; cover and cook 3–5 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula until golden char marks appear.
6-Finish and serve: Transfer to a platter, sprinkle with chopped parsley or basil, and optionally grate Parmesan on top.

🔥 Use high heat (350-375°F) to quickly sear the exterior and keep the interior tender without turning mushy.
🫒 Brush olive oil on slices before grilling — this creates a non-stick surface and helps develop a crispy, flavorful crust.
💧 Skip the marinade — excess moisture causes sogginess; add extra seasoning or a squeeze of lemon after cooking instead.
