Flavor Enhancements:
- Marinate zucchini: Before grilling, marinate zucchini in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs (e.g., basil, thyme, oregano), salt, and pepper. This will infuse the zucchini with extra flavor.
- Add a touch of sweetness: Grill zucchini with slices of onion or bell pepper to add a hint of sweetness.
- Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese: Top grilled zucchini with freshly grated Parmesan cheese for a flavorful and umami-packed finish.
Texture Variations:
- Slice at an angle: Instead of slicing the zucchini straight across, slice it diagonally at a 45-degree angle. This will create ridges that grill beautifully.
- Skewer zucchini: Thread zucchini slices onto skewers with other vegetables like tomatoes, onions, or mushrooms for a fun and flavorful presentation.
- Make zucchini boats: Scoop out the center of zucchini lengthwise, creating a boat shape. Fill the zucchini boats with a mixture of grilled vegetables, cheese, and herbs.
Cooking Tips:
- Grill properly: Grill zucchini over medium-high heat to create grill marks and tenderize the inside. Avoid over-grilling, which can make the zucchini tough.
- Use a grill basket: Place zucchini slices in a grill basket to prevent them from falling through the grates.
- Add a splash of vinegar: Brush zucchini with balsamic vinegar or apple cider vinegar before grilling to enhance the flavor and caramelize the sugars.
Serving Suggestions:
- As an appetizer: Serve grilled zucchini slices with aioli or tzatziki sauce for dipping.
- As a side dish: Pair grilled zucchini with grilled meats, fish, or vegetables.
- In salads: Add grilled zucchini to salads for a refreshing and nutritious kick.
- In sandwiches: Layer grilled zucchini slices into sandwiches for extra flavor and crunch.
