Ingredients

  • 2 large zucchinis (or 3 medium)
  • 2 tablespoon butter melted
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • cup shredded or grated Parmesan cheese
  • fresh parsley, chopped for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  • Prep the zucchini by cutting off each end and then cutting each zucchini in half horizontally. Then cut each half in half for 8 slices (if using two large zucchinis).
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the butter, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Brush the cut end of the zucchini with the garlic butter and then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  • Add the zucchini to the grill, cut side up, and shut the grill. Cook for 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the zucchini is cooked through.
  • Serve topped with some chopped parsley.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Keep an eye on it - especially during the last 3-4 minutes, as you don't want it to burn or become overcooked.
  • Use decent sized zucchini - that are as uniformly sized as possible. You don't want a zucchini that has a super skinny neck or a really large end part. If you do happen to have very large zucchini, you might need to add a couple of minutes to the cooking time.
  • Use tongs - I love using tongs for this recipe, as they make transferring the zucchini to/from the grill easy.
  • Use a grill pan if you'd like. I cook my zucchini parmesan directly on the grill, but you can use a grill pan if you'd prefer!
