Grilled Zucchini #recipe by @LeslieKarst

 

’Tis the season for zucchini to be bustin’ forth from all of our summer gardens, so I thought I’d give you a simple and delicious way to get rid of--I mean, prepare--the humble squash. It’s the perfect side dish to throw on the barbecue while you’re letting your grilled meat rest after cooking, and this same method also works well for other veggies such as bell peppers and green onions. 

 

Grilled Zucchini

(serves 4)

Ingredients

4-5 medium zucchini

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or herbes de Provence

salt and black pepper

 

Directions

Prepare a grill or barbecue to medium-hot heat.

Cut the zucchini lengthwise, into ¼ to ½ inch slices

 

Brush both sides of the zucchini with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

 

Grill the zucchini till it browns on the bottom, then flip and continue grilling till browned on the other side, as well. 

 

Voilà! Easy peasy! And SOOOOO delicious!
