Italian Grilled Zucchini

What’s better in the summer than grilling all the foods?! Grilling can be intimidating

because food can go from perfect to burnt so quickly. However, after going through this recipe you will see how easily grilled zucchini can be!

Zucchini was always a popular summer vegetable choice, but with zoodles (zucchini noodles) gaining popularity over the last few years, I think zucchini gained a new superstar status.

Zoodles are great, but nothing beats slicing and cooking a veggie #oldschool style.

Since zucchini is delicate (can be punctured easily) and is already a “softer” vegetable, searing the vegetable adds a texture contrast, so the zucchini is not made softer or mushy, but rather, firm and has a bite to it.

I kept the skin on, but you can remove it if you’d like. I like the color it adds and it might even help the zucchini hold up to the grilling heat. If you are in a flare up and are removing all fruit and vegetable skins, this would be a good reason to remove the skins here.

The summer squashes are full of nutrients, so eat up! Just a few of their nutritional benefits include copper, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, and vitamin C, as well as many other micronutrients.
