1
Prepare the Zucchini
Wash the zucchini thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Slice each zucchini lengthwise into quarters or thick slices, depending on your preference for grilling.
2
Make the Marinade
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Whisk together until well mixed.

3
Marinate the Zucchini
Place the zucchini slices in a large bowl or a zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the zucchini, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
4
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 450°F or 190°C to 230°C). If using a grill pan, preheat it on the stovetop.
5
Grill the Zucchini
Once the grill is hot, place the marinated zucchini slices directly onto the grill grates. Grill for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until the zucchini is tender and grill marks appear. Avoid overcooking to maintain a slight crunch.
6
Serve
Remove the zucchini from the grill and serve hot. Enjoy as a side dish or add it to salads, sandwiches, or wraps.
