How To Make Grilled Balsamic Zucchini Slices

Prep your zucchini first by washing it and cutting off the stems. There is no need to peel them as the peel is edible.

Preheat the grill to high heat. Close the lid so it heats up faster.

Slice each zucchini lengthwise into 4 pieces.

Pour olive oil and vinegar into a small bowl and stir to combine. Use a pastry brush to spread marinade on zucchini slices. Sprinkle each slice with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Then flip the zucchini slices over and seasoning the other side with marinade and seasonings.

Open your grill and reduce heat to medium low or low (depending on how hot your grill runs). Use tongs to lay zucchini slices out on grill. Close the grill cover to cook zucchini faster.

Cook for 4 minutes. Flip carefully using a spatula and tongs as zucchini gets very tender. Close lid and cook for 3 more minutes. Total cooking time depends on how soft you want the zucchini.

Next, check tenderness of zucchini with tongs. If need be, close the grill and cook for another couple of minutes until soft enough.

Once zucchini is done cooking, use tongs to remove zucchini from grill. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before eating.

Cooking Tips

• Using vinegar is optional
• Sprinkle seasonings of your choice on zucchini
• Use tongs to carefully handle zucchini as it gets more tender the longer it cooks
• Closing the cover while cooking the zucchini helps them to cook faster and still get good grill marks
