 Instructions:

1. Preheat Pellet Grill:

  • Set to 400°F using applewood, pecan, or oak pellets for a balanced smoky flavor.

2. Season the Zucchini:

  • In a bowl, toss zucchini slices with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and herbs.

3. Grill the Zucchini:

  • Place directly on the grill grates or in a grill basket.

  • Grill for 5–7 minutes per side, flipping once, until tender with grill marks.

4. Serve:

  • Transfer to a platter, top with optional garnishes (like Parmesan, lemon zest, or balsamic drizzle), and serve warm.

Pro Tips:

  • Don’t overcook—zucchini should be tender but not mushy.

  • Want crispier edges? Cut zucchini lengthwise into thick strips.

  • Try it with a drizzle of garlic-lemon aioli or serve over couscous or quinoa.
