- 2 large zucchinis (or 3 medium)
- 2 tablespoon butter melted
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅓ cup shredded or grated Parmesan cheese
- fresh parsley, chopped for topping
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!
- 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!
