Serves 4

Ingredients

Zucchini
2 medium, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
Olive oil
3 tablespoons
Dried oregano
1 tablespoon
Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup, grated
Salt
1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
Black pepper
1/4 teaspoon, or to taste
Fresh parsley
2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, dried oregano, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined to create a flavorful dressing.
  3. Place the zucchini slices in a large mixing bowl and drizzle the oregano and Parmesan mixture over them. Toss gently to ensure each slice is evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the zucchini slices directly on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side until grill marks form and the zucchini begins to soften.
  5. Flip the zucchini slices and continue grilling for another 4-5 minutes, or until they are tender and have nice char marks.
  6. Once done, remove the zucchini from the grill and serve hot, garnished with additional grated Parmesan and freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra burst of flavor, try adding minced garlic to the olive oil mixture before tossing with the zucchini.
  • 💡 If you prefer a smoky flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of smoked paprika to the dressing.
  • 💡 This recipe works well with other vegetables like bell peppers and eggplants—feel free to mix it up!
