Ingredients

6 medium zucchini quartered lengthwise
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning or creole seasoning see notes
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan Cheese
Chopped fresh Italian parsley or cilantro optional

Instructions

Preheat the grill to 450 degrees. Lightly oil the grill grate with a little vegetable oil.
Cut the zucchini into quarters lengthwise. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the seasoning, kosher salt, and black pepper.
Place the zucchini spears on the grill flesh side down. Grill for about 3-4 minutes and then flip skin side down. Grill for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and if desired fresh herbs. For best results serve promptly.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To prevent overcooking, they can be reheated in the microwave for short intervals at a reduced power. Alternatively, they can be placed on a baking sheet and reheated at 350 degrees F until warm. However, this dish is best served promptly while it is at its best texture and temperature.
