Grilled Garlic Herb Zucchini
An easy peasy summertime staple! The zucchini comes out perfectly garlicky, fresh, and crisp-tender – so simple yet so good!
I’ve had so many grilled goodies this season. Like this gorgeous flank steak platter, my favorite maple rosemary chicken, and the stickiest bbq pineapple chicken kabobs.
But this grilled zucchini really takes the cake.
I know. It’s weird. You’d think the chicken kabobs would be my fave.
And they certainly were…until I had this.
These perfectly grilled zucchini slices drizzled with the most amazing, garlicky herb mixture.
It keeps everything so fresh, and it takes just minutes to whip up. And if you don’t have fresh rosemary on hand, dried rosemary or your favorite dried herbs will do the trick.
Just grab those abundant zucchini you have in your garden right now!

Wow, this sounds like a mouthwatering summer delight! Can’t wait to try it out. Thanks for the tasty inspiration!”
This was absolutely delicious! The zucchini was cooked perfectly and not mushy and the herb dressing was out of this world!! My daughter, who says zucchini is her least favorite veggie, loved it! Can’t wait to make it again!
Great gilled vegie recipe. Fast and easy to make.
These instructions made all the difference in the zucchini still having body after grilling. The sauce pushes it over the top. My guests raved about it!
What if you don’t like rosemary?
Oh for heavens sake! Take it out altogether or exchange it for basil, thyme, or whatever herb you like.
Can this be done in the oven?
You mention yellow squash in the grilled zucchini recipe but don’t use it?
The squash is used in step 3! 🙂
3. Brush zucchini and squash with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
We are having this almost every weekend! So tasty!
Your recipes are just fantastic. Thank you for creating and sharing them!
Landlord won’t allow an outdoor grill. Do you think a stove top like the Lodge Cast Iron Square Grill Pan would work?
Yes, absolutely!
I have that same pan and it works great for indoor grilling! Only downside is it makes a LOT of smoke, at least when grilling steaks.
These look great. Can you add the garlic/herb mixture before you grill, then repeat after you take them off?
Of course!
