Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the zucchini, then slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds or lengthwise strips, depending on your preference.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Step 3
Add the sliced zucchini to the bowl and toss until all pieces are evenly coated with the marinade.
Step 4
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Place the zucchini slices on the grill in a single layer. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side until they have grill marks and are tender but not mushy.
Step 6
During the last minute of grilling, brush both sides of the zucchini with BBQ sauce for additional flavor.
Step 7
Remove the zucchini from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Step 8
Optionally, sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
