Ingredients
2 medium zucchini (approx 1 pound)
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill to high heat.
Trim the ends off the zucchini and slice into uniform 3/4-inch rings.
In a large bowl, toss the zucchini rings with olive oil, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Place the zucchini slices directly on the hot grill grates.
Cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side until tender and charred.
Remove from the grill and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure your grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking. For the best char marks, do not move the slices until they naturally release from the grill. For a firmer bite, slice your zucchini slightly thicker.
