Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Wash and trim the ends of the zucchinis. Slice them lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick strips.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Whisk until well blended.
Step 4
Place the zucchini strips in a large mixing bowl or a shallow dish. Pour the olive oil mixture over the zucchini and toss to ensure even coating.
Step 5
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Arrange the zucchini strips on the grill in a single layer.
Step 6
Grill the zucchini for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until tender and grill marks appear. Avoid overcooking to maintain a slight crunch.
Step 7
Remove the zucchini from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Step 8
Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish or as part of your main meal.
