Simple and easy grilled zucchini with dried herbs and olive oil and finished with a simple balsamic vinegar drizzle. A super easy and healthy side dish for the summertime.
1.75 pounds zucchini, about 3 zucchini measuring 7 or 8 inches long
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
½ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon best quality aged balsamic vinegar, or balsamic glaze

Steps
Preheat grill to medium heat.
Trim stem and blossom ends off zucchini. Cut lengthwise into long slabs about 1/3-inch thick. Lay on work surface. Brush oil over the zucchini with a pastry brush. Combine Italian seasoning, salt and garlic in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the zucchini.
Grill the zucchini until the charred on the bottom, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip over, avoiding letting the zucchini go through the grates, and continue cooking until just tender but not breaking down, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer to a large platter. Drizzle with balsamic and serve hot or at room temperature.

Heather Bigler on 2020-07-18 (5 stars): We made this recipe tonight and it was delicious! It's uncomfortably hot here tonight so grilling outdoors was the best option. The zucchini skin was crunchy and the flesh was grilled just right. The spices really complimented the zucchini and the balsamic vinegar was the icing on the squash. I'll make this recipe again.
Jordi on 2021-07-23 (5 stars): Loved this simple, delicious recipe. We'll be making this all summer.
Colleen on 2021-08-01 (5 stars): I am a gardening rookie and just picked my garden's first zucchini... I wasn't sure how to cook it, so I tried this recipe and it was the best zucchini I've even had! Thank you for a simple yet super yummy recipe!
Susan Coker on 2022-05-23 (5 stars): My husband doesn't care for zucchini but he loved it fixed this way. Only thing I did different was to use Greek seasoning instead of the garlic powder and Italian seasoning. I used a grill pan that left marks on the zuch which is what I wanted. Thanks for the recipe. Zuch is usually plentiful.
Tony COOPER on 2022-06-30 (5 stars): This Sautéed Zucchini and Yellow Squash is absolutely delicious! It is easy to make . I followed the directions exactly, and the zucchini and yellow squash turned out perfectly , They were tender but not mushy. I let the onion caramelize, and that released even more flavor! Great recipe!
maria on 2022-07-08 (5 stars): This easy recipe is delicious and when zucchini is in season I can't eat enough of it .
Bob on 2022-08-13 (5 stars): 5 Stars all day long. Delicious. Great recipe and so simple to make. Bring on Zucchini season!!!
Abby on 2023-05-21 (5 stars): Great simple recipe! I goofed and mixed up all the ingredients and put it on the zucchini before grilling. Didn’t seem to hurt it.
Frances on 2023-05-27 (5 stars): Very good, I don't grill that often and liked the tips that you gave. I had smallish zucchini so just did them in half instead of thin slices. And good tip on waiting to salt them too. Very good as a side with some salsa verde chicken. Thank you.
Frances on 2023-09-17 (5 stars): made them now two more times, it is my "go to" for grilling zucchini.
thanks!
Tracy on 2024-08-04 (5 stars): So quick and easy. It was loved by everyone.
BD on 2026-06-30 (5 stars): Very good even without the balsamic. I forgot to drizzle it lol
