GRILLED ZUCCHINI IS DELICIOUS!!

MinMin97

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.

I wonder if it could be cut up and frozen in ziplocs?

i love grilled zucchini planks too. but i'm a purist. don't need more than s&p, maybe some garlic.. or just montréal steak seasoning.

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.

This sounds good I am going to have to try this. I usually too shredded up zucchini and freeze it.

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.

MinMin97

^^^^wow, looks delicious. Also the zucchini soups above:happy:

cheshirequeen

also zucchini grilled, throw some marinara sauce and some cheese of your choice and youve got low calorie meal. i also cut it up and put it in spaghetti, tofu scramblers, and everything else that i can. im addicted.

I love grilled zucchini. I like to grill it with yellow squash, potato, and onion. Salt and pepper is all I use for a seasoning. I am gonna have to try some of the other things I have seen posted in this thread. They sound great. Thanks for sharing.

Montreal Steak Seasoning is what I use for all my grilled veggies, including zucchini. I love the stuff!

I cooked mine with cherry tomatoes- they were getting alittle old and wrinkled- but they were great with the zucchini
