Its mild flavor works with whatever else you&#8217;re cooking up. Grilled zucchini is one of our favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/top-10-grilled-vegetable-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/top-10-grilled-vegetable-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">grilled vegetable recipes<\/a>. Simply brush with olive oil, then grill until tender and toss in a quick lemon-olive oil dressing.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Grilled Zucchini<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Zucchini:<\/strong> In many of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-for-zucchini\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-for-zucchini\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">zucchini recipes<\/a>, we suggest using small zucchini. The small ones are more tender and have smaller seeds. To prep them, slice them in half lengthwise to create plenty of surface area for grill marks and tasty dressing. Scale the recipe up or down to include more or fewer zucchini as needed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oil:<\/strong> Brush olive oil on the zucchini before grilling to add richness and flavor. Then, after cooking, toss the veggies in an olive oil-based dressing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dressing:<\/strong> This recipe keeps it simple, dressing the zucchini with thinly sliced green onions, salt and crushed red pepper flakes for a slight kick. Play around with the base recipe by adding extra seasonings or fresh herbs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lemon juice:<\/strong> Stir lemon juice into the green onion dressing for bright acidity. Fresh lemons have the best flavor, but you can use bottled lemons in a pinch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Grill the zucchini<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2121921 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Grilled-Zucchini_THVS24_124903_MR_06_11_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Drizzling the sliced zucchini with 2 teaspoons oil\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Drizzle the sliced zucchini with 2 teaspoons oil.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2121923 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Grilled-Zucchini_THVS24_124903_MR_06_11_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Grilled Zucchini on medium heat\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Grill, covered, over medium heat until tender, 8 to 10 minutes, turning once.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Toss in a simple dressing<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2121924 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Grilled-Zucchini_THVS24_124903_MR_06_11_3.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Grilled zucchini in a large bowl with green onions, lemon juice, salt, pepper flakes and remaining oil\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Place the cooked zucchini in a large bowl.

Most dried herbs, like rosemary and thyme, are tasty, too.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add fresh herbs:<\/strong> Zucchini season is also peak season for fresh herbs. Mince up herbs to sprinkle over the grilled zucchini. Basil, cilantro, thyme, dill and parsley are all delicious.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use different squash:<\/strong> Other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-summer-squash\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-summer-squash\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">types of summer squash<\/a>, like crookneck, also work in this recipe. You can even grill a mix of squash.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Grilled Zucchini<\/h2>\n<p>Leftover grilled zucchini can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. The zucchini will soften a bit as it cools, but it will still taste delicious. Serve it cold or at room temperature or reheat in a skillet to crisp it up a bit.<\/p>\n<h2>Grilled Zucchini Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2121919\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Grilled-Zucchini_THVP24_124903_MR_06_11_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Grilled Zucchini with lemons on a plate\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How do you cut zucchini for grilling?<\/h3>\n<p>For this recipe, slice the zucchini in half lengthwise for a wide surface area to lay across the grates and create flavorful grill marks. Zucchini sliced lengthwise way will be evenly thick, too, so they&#8217;ll cook evenly. If your zucchini are wonky-shaped or oversized, cook them in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/grilled-zucchini-salad-with-mediterranean-dressing\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/grilled-zucchini-salad-with-mediterranean-dressing\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">grill basket<\/a> instead.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you avoid mushy grilled zucchini?<\/h3>\n<p>Usually, mushy zucchini is overcooked zucchini. Keep a close eye on the veggies as they start to take on color. Test the flesh with a knife: It should be tender enough to pierce easily, but still have a bite, like al dente pasta. It also helps to start cooking zucchini over a very hot surface, so preheat the grill before you start cooking.<\/p>\n<h3>What can you serve with grilled zucchini?<\/h3>\n<p>Most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/grilling-ideas-for-dinner\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/grilling-ideas-for-dinner\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">grilling dinner ideas<\/a>\u00a0will taste delicious alongside a platter of grilled zucchini: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/all-american-bacon-cheeseburgers\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/all-american-bacon-cheeseburgers\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bacon cheeseburgers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/spicy-barbecued-chicken\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/spicy-barbecued-chicken\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">spicy barbecued chicken<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/healthy-grilled-dinners\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/healthy-grilled-dinners\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">healthy grilled dinners<\/a>.
