Ingredients:

  • 3 medium zucchini (about 1.5 lbs / 680g)
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions:

  1. Wash and dry the zucchini thoroughly. Slice each zucchini lengthwise into quarters to create spears.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the zucchini spears with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the zucchini spears perpendicular to the grill grates.
  4. Grill for 3–5 minutes per side without moving them, until deep mahogany-colored char marks appear and the vegetable is slightly softened but still firm.
  5. Remove the zucchini from the grill and place them on a platter. Immediately sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan and drizzle with fresh lemon juice.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
