Grilled Zucchini Parmesan

Ingredients

4 small zucchini, about 1 pound
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon, freshly squeezed
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced
1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian flat leaf parsley, optional garnish
Shredded Parmesan cheese, optional garnish
Crushed red pepper flakes, optional garnish

Directions

In a rectangular pan, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic, and Italian seasoning until well combined.

Wash and dry zucchini. Cut zucchini into spears.

Place zucchini spears in the rectangular pan and toss with the olive oil mixture until coated.

Heat your grill to medium-high.

Brush the grates of your grill with olive oil. You can also use a wadded up paper towel with oil on it, grip it with a grill tongs and rub it over the grates.

Place the zucchini on the grill, using tongs, and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until tender.

Remove from the grill and place on serving plate.

Garnish with additional salt and pepper or Parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
