Grilled zucchini is so tasty when you use fresh, firm, in-season zucchinis! The olive oil-balsamic marinade is superb.

Ingredients

2 large zucchinis (unpeeled (about 1 lb.))
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
½ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

Preheat grill, or a grill pan, over medium-high heat. I like to use my George Foreman Grill.
Trim the zucchini edges and slice it crosswise into ½-inch-thick rounds.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, kosher salt, black pepper and garlic powder.
Brush the zucchini rounds with the mixture, on both sides. Set aside any remaining marinade.
Grill the zucchini slices until just tender, 3-4 minutes on each side. In my dual contact George Foreman grill, I grill 3 minutes on the first side, then 2 more minutes on the second side.
Brush the grilled zucchini slices with the remaining marinade and serve.
