Instructions

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds or long strips.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Brush both sides of the zucchini slices with the seasoned oil mixture.
Place zucchini directly on the grill and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until grill marks form and slices are tender.
Remove from the grill and serve immediately with optional lemon wedges.

Notes

Use fresh herbs after grilling for a burst of flavor.

For a spicy version, add red pepper flakes to the oil mixture.

Grated Parmesan or crumbled feta can be added right after grilling.

A drizzle of balsamic glaze adds extra depth.

A grill pan can be used if an outdoor grill isn’t available.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheat in a skillet or oven to avoid sogginess.
