PREPARATION

  • Prepare The Zucchini: Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips. Brush each slice with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat The Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, ensuring it’s hot enough to sear the zucchini quickly.
  • Grill The Zucchini: Place the zucchini slices on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until grill marks appear and the zucchini is tender but still firm.
  • Drizzle With Balsamic Glaze: Remove the zucchini from the grill and drizzle with balsamic vinegar immediately to allow the flavours to infuse while still warm.
  • Serve Immediately: Plate the grilled zucchini and enjoy it as a side dish, snack, or light entrée.

PREP TIME

5 minutes

COOKING TIME

6 minutes

TIPS

  • Perfect Grilling: Keep the zucchini slices thin to ensure they cook quickly and evenly without becoming soggy.
  • Avoid Overcooking: Grill until tender to retain some bite and texture in the zucchini.
  • Enhance The Flavour: For an extra kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes or squeeze fresh lemon juice before serving.

VARIATIONS

  • Herb Addition: Add fresh herbs like thyme or oregano to the olive oil before brushing the zucchini for a more herby flavour.
  • Cheese Topping: Crumble some feta or goat cheese on the grilled zucchini for a richer dish.
  • Garlic Infusion: Mix minced garlic into the olive oil before brushing the zucchini for a garlic-flavoured twist.
  • Add More Veggies: Add vegetables like bell peppers or eggplant for a colourful vegetable medley.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge Storage: Store leftover grilled zucchini in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing: Grilled zucchini does not freeze well as it becomes soggy after thawing, so it’s best enjoyed fresh.
  • Reheating: To reheat, use a hot skillet or oven to maintain the texture without over-softening the zucchini.
