How to Make Kittencal's Grilled Zucchini

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Wash and slice one large zucchini (about 8 inches long) into 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick slices. (You can slice lengthwise or crosswise).
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup Italian dressing, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1 clove minced garlic.
  4. Add the zucchini slices to the bowl and toss gently to coat evenly.
  5. Arrange zucchini slices on a plate and sprinkle generously with freshly ground black pepper.
  6. Let the zucchini marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld.
  7. Place zucchini slices on the preheated grill.
  8. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the zucchini is tender-crisp.
  9. Remove from grill and sprinkle lightly with kosher or table salt to taste.
