Ingredients
- 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!
