- 4 medium zucchini (about 8 ounces each)
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Juice of 1/2 small lemon
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Steps
Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to high heat (400 to 450°F). Trim off the ends of each zucchini and cut it lengthwise into quarters so that you have four batons per zucchini. Place on a rimmed baking sheet or on a large baking pan.
Drizzle the zucchini with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning (if using), salt, and pepper.
Place the zucchini on the grill so that one of the cut sides is touching the grates. Grill for 4 minutes, until clear grill marks appear.
Flip the zucchini over onto the back (peel) side. Grill for 5 additional minutes. At this point, you can flip it to the remaining ungrilled cut side for 1 to 2 minutes if you’d like grill marks on all surfaces (we usually just serve it as is!). Transfer back to the baking sheet or to a serving platter.
Squeeze the lemon over the top and sprinkle with Parmesan. Enjoy!
