Vegetable Side Dishes

Grilled zucchini (zucchine alla griglia) is a wonderful summer vegetable side dish. It’s not only nutritious, it’s light-tasting and delicious. 

I use it to make zucchini lasagna which is filling, low-carb and just as delicious as it is made with pasta.

My Italian family from Italy introduced it to me many years ago.

Zucchine alla Griglia

Making this grilled zucchini is SIMPLE! 

1.  Wash, dry and cut the zucchini lengthwise.
2. Grill it.
3. Season it.

Isn’t that simple? 

In my humble opinion, this is one of the best ways to make zucchini because it doesn’t get soggy. You can use it to make rollatini too. 

When you season the grilled zucchini, you can use fresh garlic cloves. I use garlic powder because it coats the zucchini better. But, if you use garlic cloves, it will pick up the garlic flavor. 

Zucchini and garlic go together like zucchini and tomatoes. Zucchini seems to be one of the garden vegetables that home gardeners grow a lot.

I haven’t been growing it anymore myself because of a ground hog I’m not particularly fond.
