Yesterday friends grilled homegrown zucchini, and I was totally amazed! I know what ingredients they used, but not the recipe. I want to do this again soon...

zucchini cut into strips (slabs) about 1/2 inch thick
Marinade:
chopped green olives, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, a touch of balsamic vinegar, touch of onion powder

grill!

We were generally BBQing, and I realized I could put one of those grilled zucchini in a hot dog bun....I'd like to try that next time!

    I agree. I love zucchini, but grilled is my favorite. I don't normally marinade it, but that does sound tasty. I might just give it a try.

    I typically just slice it in half lengthwise and season the cut side with a mix of black pepper, ceyenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and dried basil. Drissle on a little olive oil and grill cut side down until it's carmelized. The grilled side will be soft and browned and the non-grilled side will still have a good crunch. We eat this a lot when fresh zucchini is in season. It works well in a skillet too.

    Ditto that I love zucchini but have never thought to marinade it before cooking! I usually just slice into chunks and sautee in a little olive oil.

    I'm a zucchini FIEND and I will have it anytime there is some in the fridge.
    My mom's friend grows copious amounts of it in her garden so she always gives us some for free :)

    I'll have to try putting all these yummy things on my zucchini to make it even more awesome-er!
    I usually toss it in a pan with 1/2 tbsp of butter, some minced garlic, and a little garlic salt. It's super-yummy.

    Definitely! My mom used to shred it and then freeze it in portions. She'd use it later to make zucchini bread or other zucchini recipes.

    Sounds delicious...and lucky you! I have steamed it, added salt and a touch of onion powder, shredded cheddar, and a dollop of sourcream....

    i make a low carb cream of zucchini/broccoli soup
    onion, celery, zucchini, sometimes cauli and broc with chicken stock and cream. take a stick blender to it.
    so. fricking. good.

    when i'm not doing low carb, i add potatoes to thicken.

    This isn't a zucchini only recipe, but I love to do this:

    1 zucch, cut up bite size
    Mini portabella shrooms, sliced
    1 bell pepper, sliced into strips
    1 medium vidalia onion, diced

    Put in bowl and add
    Extra virgin olive oil
    Salt
    Pepper
    Garlic powder
    Paprika
    All to taste

    Grill on a veggie grill basket on uncovered grill, stirring occasionally until nicely caramelled

    Transfer cooked veg to a bowl and Add favorite marinara sauce and spoon into a toasted hoagie roll. You can add some cheese if desired.
