Ingredients
- 4 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat (about 375°F to 400°F).
Wash the zucchinis thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Trim off the ends of the zucchinis and slice them lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick planks.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Brush both sides of each zucchini plank with the seasoned olive oil mixture using a pastry brush.
Carefully place the zucchini planks on the preheated grill. Let them cook for 3–4 minutes on one side until grill marks appear.
Flip the zucchini planks and cook for an additional 3–4 minutes on the other side, until tender but not mushy.
Remove the zucchini from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate.
Optional: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the grilled zucchini for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve immediately while warm. Enjoy your Grilled Zucchini with Sea Salt alongside your favorite main dish!
