Grilled Zucchini Recipe

By

This grilled zucchini recipe is the perfect way to use up all that zucchini from your summer garden and still want to eat more!

There’s just something about barbecued food.

It seems like no matter what I put on the grill, I’m pretty much always guaranteed a tasty outcome. Even veggies! In fact, the grill is fast becoming my absolute favorite way to prepare almost any vegetable.

A dish filled with this Grilled Zucchini Recipe sits ready to eat. The zucchini is slightly charred from the grill and looks delicious.

I love the smokey flavor that the grill imparts, and in this case, the zucchini can be cooked to any level of “doneness” and end up being rock-star-delicious! I prefer to cook mine a little less so that the zucchini maintains a slight bit of crunch. But you can also cook them long enough to turn them into something just shy of a tasty mush. It really is up to you!

Even Mini Chef (who is definitely going through an “I don’t want that” stage) ate these. So that’s sayin’ something!

HEALTH BENEFITS OF ZUCCHINI:

Zucchini is marvelous stuff. Particularly off the grill! But delicious flavors aside, here are some more reasons to enjoy plenty of zucchini this season!

IS IT OKAY TO EAT RAW ZUCCHINI?

Absolutely!! Raw zucchini is highly nutritious and mild in flavor, so you can really develop other flavors in a recipe that include this delicious vegetable.

  • Low in calories
  • High in vitamin A
  • High in antioxidants
  • It’s possible that zucchini aids digestion
  • It’s low in carbs

Grilled Zucchini Recipe

A delicious way to use up all that zucchini and still want more!

Course: Side Dish, Vegetables

Cuisine: American

Yield: 8 servings

Calories: 105 kcal

Author: The Gracious Pantry

Ingredients

  • 2 lb. zucchini (cut into quarters)
  • 2 tbsp. garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp. onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients into a plastic bag, and gently shake until the zucchini is coated in the oil and spices

  2. Place on grill and cook. (Much of the oil will be left behind in the bag. That's okay. I just toss it out with the bag.)

  3. When the zucchini is cooked to your liking, remove from the grill and allow to cool. These retain A LOT of heat. So cooling time is essential.

  4. NOTE: For crispier/crunchier zucchini, cook on higher heat for a shorter time. For a softer zucchini, cook on lower heat for a longer time.

This Christmas Charcuterie Board has a red, white, and green theme for a festive spread! Follow the step-by-step instructions to learn exactly how to put it together to create a beautiful board for your holiday events.  A Red, White, and Green Cheese Board! My Thanksgiving Charcuterie Board has been such a successful post, and it’s one of my favorites of all time on the blog! While Della helped me create that board, this one I dreamed up ingredient by ingredient until I had a red, white, and green theme going. I’m sure you guys have some ideas for even more ingredients you could add! The key to a beautiful cheese board is to fill in all the spaces so it looks plentiful and abundant!  Once again I made this step by step so you could see how everything comes together. I followed the same technique as last time anchoring with the cheeses and meats, following with fruit and crackers, and ending with the smaller pieces like nuts and herbs. It’s really quite easy!

Ways I’m Prioritizing My Health

Since turning 40 my health has become even more of a priority. Here are some ways I’m prioritizing my health this year. Affiliate links included. 40 was a turning point I don’t know if it was something physical or just the psychological effect of crossing “over the hill,” but within the last year, I’ve really started to want to optimize my health in a more deliberate way. I think this is common for people around my age, who might be done having kids and are well into their adulting years. I’ve listened to a lot of Jenna Kutcher’s health story on her podcast, and much of what she has said resonates with me.  When I was younger, I felt like the glass was half full. It appeared that real food, movement, and fresh air were all I needed to sustain good health. But now that I’m feeling my body age, I feel the need to help it along the way. Enter: a few more supplements, tools, and routines to achieve that goal. You’ve seen the memes about sleep as you age: In your 20s y...
