This grilled zucchini is great hot off the grill or at room temperature. Learn how to grill zucchini with Parmesan to add a tasty twist to this summer classic.
Preheat your grill to 450°F. Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice the zucchini lengthwise into ½ inch thick strips.
In a large bowl, mix together oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Gently toss the zucchini strips in the mixture, coating evenly.
Place the zucchini strips carefully on the grill, using tongs if needed. Reserve the balsamic mixture.
Grill the zucchini until charred on one side, about 10 minutes. Flip the zucchini and grill the other side for about 3-4 minutes, until the zucchini is cooked but not falling apart.
Transfer the zucchini to a platter, drizzle with the remaining balsamic mixture, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil. Serve!
Notes
If you have smaller/shorter zucchini, they may fall through the grill so use a grill basket or pan if necessary.
Try not to overcook, as the zucchini can become mushy quickly.
Be sure to cut the zucchini consistently at ½ inch thick to ensure even cooking and to avoid under or overcooked zucchini.
