Grilling zucchini: Any secrets?

Question

'Tis the season to drown in zucchini, whats your favorite grilled zucchini recipe?

Answer 1

I slice mine lengthwise (1/4 inch-1/2 inch) to make a "cutlet" of sorts and marinate it either Italian or asian dressing at room temperature for 4-5 hours and grill.   YUM  

Answer 2

I do not have time to grill my zucchini because I eat them as snacks.  I just wanted to share this serving suggestion with you. One zucchini - cut into 8 pieces - put (covered) in a microwave for 4.5 minutes - then eat with mayonnaise on top. Great for afternoon snacking ♥

Answer 3

Back to the stuff on a stick...

Everything you put on a medley stick has a different cooking time.

The stuff that cooks the fastest goes in the middle of the stick.

The stuff that cooks the slowest goes on the ends.

Put squash and mushrooms in the very middle, squeezed in tight.

Put the meat on the ends.

I like to put one slice of onion between everything.

The best sauce is Teriyaki...

Answer 4

i shred and dry my zuchs..

not too crazy about them. lol

saute them with stuff.

but i barbque mini spaghetti squashes like Sptfyr

with clarified butter/basil/ honey/pepper/hot sauce/ mix..they take awhile..

foil at first to kind of bake, then just barbque em..

turn over to 'toast'

and just eat the spaghetti insides.

Answer 5

If you take small zucchini and cut them lengthwise, you'll find that it's really easy to grill. I'd suggest sprinkling a little Parmesan cheese over them before you serve.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

    * 3 large zucchini cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices

    * 3 tablespoons olive oil

    * 2 teaspoons oregano

    * 2 garlic cloves, minced

    * 1/4 teaspoon rosemary

    * salt and pepper

Preparation:

Preheat grill. Brush zucchini with olive oil. Sprinkle both sides of zucchini with oregano, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper. Grill until zucchini is tender, about 4 minutes per side.  

Answer 6

I hear ya big time.. So many zucchini here! I slice them about a quarter inch thick and baste with olive oil and sprinkle either Cajun seasoning or just pull them off and sprinkle with fresh basil (also from the garden). However, if you would like another idea on how to use the Z's: we just made a vegetable lasagna using them instead of the lasagna noodles. But have to bake or grill them first just for a bit. Also chopped some up the other night and added to a pot of swiss chard.. was absolutely great.

Answer 7

I think Creole seasoning would be good, olive oil first though.

Answer 8

Once you have stuffed zucchini, I don`t think you`ll want it any other way! Yummy 4 my healthy tummy.
