Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 8 ounces button mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Wash and trim the ends of the zucchini. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds or long strips, depending on your preference.
Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems if desired.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to mix the seasoning evenly.
Add the zucchini slices and mushrooms to the bowl. Toss well to coat the vegetables thoroughly in the seasoning mixture.
Place the zucchini and mushrooms directly on the preheated grill or on a grill pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the vegetables are tender.
Optional: During the last minute of grilling, drizzle the vegetables with balsamic vinegar for added flavor.
Remove the grilled vegetables from the heat and transfer them to a serving platter.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
