    Easy grilled zucchini

    Easy grilled Zucchini

    One of the things I like the most about late summer, early fall is all the fresh produce! Often zucchini is a little overwhelming.  Easy grilled zucchini is an easy way to use up this plentiful veggie.  Whether it's from your garden, a farmer's market or your local grocery store, fresh produce is awesome! Paron my enthusiasm for fresh produce, but, I'm from Wisconsin and the winters are long and the produce gets shipped in from all over the place most of the year.

    Anything grilled tastes so much better than normal too! This is a super-easy way to prepare zucchini with the flavor of summer. Plus, this is such an inexpensive vegetable, especially when it's in season.

    Ingredients

    two green zucchini and one yellow summer squash

    Zucchini, sliced about ¼ of an inch.
    Oil to brush on each side
    Seasoned salt (or garlic salt)

    Directions

    Slice Zucchini into even slices lengthwise.  Either with a knife or with mandoline.  If you are doing a large number, the mandoline cleaning time is worthwhile.

    If you are doing a lot of zucchini, this is actually a good project to get your mandoline out.  Just make sure your guard is always in place!  I took a quick look and the price of mandolines has gone down quite a bit.  Mine was more of an investment than what some of these more versatile mandolines cost!

    I brush a little olive oil on both sides of the zucchini. There are two reasons why. I want the seasoning to stick since zucchini on its own is kind of bland. And, if you are grilling, I always think it works better to lightly oil both sides of vegetables.

    Can I also share one of my favorite grilling tools?  It's actually this grill cleaner.  My kids kept telling me the old one I was using wasn't safe.

    Back to the easy grilled zucchini.   You want your grill nice and hot.  In the 400 - 450 degree range.  Then you place all your sliced and seasoned zucchini on the grill and you wait about 3 to 4 minutes.   I look for the char marks and then I know it's time to turn them around.

    Do the same for the second side and after a few minutes, you are all done!   If you are having some kind of meat that you are grilling, these cook nice and quick while the meat is resting.

    This is a great way to use up your zucchini.  And, I also eat them as leftovers the next day.  I may have also added them into a vegetable soup.   Because these are seasoned and grilled, they are flavorful!
