Sometimes, the best recipes are the simplest, and that is true with this grilled zucchini recipe. When summer rolls around and zucchini is in abundance, this quick and easy recipe is my go-to for an easy side dish. With just two ingredients—fresh zucchini and a sprinkle of seasoned salt—you can create a side dish that's smoky, savory, and packed with natural flavor. Plus... there are no pans to wash, and it's ready in 10-15 minutes.

When zucchini plants start producing, home gardeners find themselves with an over abundance of zucchini to share. Grilling zucchini is a quick and easy way to put the nutritious, flavorful vegetable on the table.
I'm a big fan of zucchini due to its versatility, and love using it in both main dishes and side dishes. Try my Zucchini Lasagna, Linguini Zucchini, and Zucchini Quiche if you are looking for main dishes, or give my Tomato and Squash Bake a try for a delicious and colorful side dish.

How to make Grilled Zucchini
Grilled zucchini is super simple! Just slice your zucchini (1), sprinkle with seasoned salt (2), and grill (3). There is no set time, just watch it as it cooks. When it is tender and starting to brown (4), it is done.
Make it your own
You can mix in yellow summer squash if you'd like, and the seasoned salt can be swapped for a salt-free seasoning, simple salt and pepper, or your preferred combination of herbs (Italian seasonings work well).
Storage and freezing
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can freeze grilled zucchini for up to 4 months.
