Grilled zucchini is a light, flavorful dish that showcases the natural goodness of this summer squash. Originating from Mediterranean cuisine but enjoyed worldwide, zucchini is sliced into rounds or long strips, lightly seasoned with olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional herbs or garlic, then cooked on a grill for a smoky aroma and tender texture with subtle caramelized edges. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, zucchini is low in calories, contains valuable antioxidants, and is an excellent source of dietary fiber that supports digestion. Its high water content contributes to hydration while promoting a feeling of fullness. Grilling enhances its natural flavors without the need for heavy sauces or added fats, making it a heart-healthy option. However, moderation in oil use is recommended to maintain its health benefits. Perfect as a side dish or snack, grilled zucchini is a versatile and nutritious addition to any meal.
