Ingredients
- 4 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoons Dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C). For an indoor option, you can also use a grill pan on the stove.
Step 2
Wash the zucchinis thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 3
Slice the zucchinis lengthwise into quarters, creating long strips.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Mix well to create a seasoned oil mixture.
Step 5
Place the zucchini strips in a large mixing bowl or a large resealable plastic bag. Drizzle the seasoned oil mixture over the zucchinis, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Toss gently to distribute the coating.
Step 6
Lightly oil the grill grates with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Arrange the zucchini strips on the hot grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
Step 8
Once grilled, remove the zucchini from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
Step 9
Drizzle the grilled zucchini with the fresh lemon juice for added flavor and freshness.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a side dish. Enjoy your low sodium grilled zucchini!
