Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Wash and dry the zucchini, then slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds or lengthwise strips, depending on your preference.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the sliced zucchini to the bowl and toss until all pieces are evenly coated with the marinade.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the zucchini slices on the grill in a single layer. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side until they have grill marks and are tender but not mushy.
During the last minute of grilling, brush both sides of the zucchini with BBQ sauce for additional flavor.
Remove the zucchini from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Optionally, sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
