I didn't love this recipe, the zucchini turned out steamed and mushy, not grilled. I also think more seasoning is needed.

I also changed it a bit. I used butter and sprinkled with lemon pepper.

4 stars as written, but 5 stars with changes. I used olive oil instead of butter, and sprinkled the zucchini with garlic salt and cayenne pepper. Omitted the foil, and grilled directly on the grill. Absolutely unbelievable flavor!

I scored the zucchini first then drizzled it with olive oil instead of butter and in addition to the salt and pepper added some garlic powder and italian seasoning. I didn't do a foil packet, just put it directly on the grill. In no time at all, it was tender-crisp and delicious! A perfect side dish for grilled chicken.

Like other reviewers, this is not "grilled" zucchini. It is also not "healthy" like in the description. You can simply use Olive Oil or Coconut Oil. I also season mine with garlic powder and lemon juice. I really don't think you need a recipe for this, as it's pretty much a trial and error session, tweaked until it's just to your liking.

I omit the foil as that just steams the squash. I "Grill" zukes all the time all year round. Slice squash into thick slices and brush lightly with olive oil and place directly on the grill, turn occasionally so they don't burn and brush again so they don't dry out, Season with sea salt, pepper and garlic powder. - Enjoy - I only gave this recipe 3 stars as it really isn't a grilling recipe more like steaming.

This recipe is better done without aluminum foil. Instead of the ingredients listed, use Olive Oil, and sprinkle with Cavender's All Purpose Greek Seasoning & Lawry's Garlic Salt. Then place directly on grill for approx. 10 to 15 minutes, turning once. Cooking time is according to thickness of zucchini. This is also great on yellow squash.

I prefer to use olive oil instead of butter and I take it out of the foil for the last 5 mins and let it just sit on the grill. It makes it a little crisper and darker in color. Also, we like to add a little sliver of velveeta cheese right at the end of grilling until it melts.....DELICIOUS!

Not sure why the name of this recipe is Grilled Zucchini. It's steamed zucchini but done on a grill instead of in a pot. Blah! The best way to make grilled zucchini is to cut them in half lengthwise, brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Then, just toss them on the grill flat side down for about 5-10 mins and then flip over for a few more mins depending on the size and thickness of your zucchinis. You'll get the nice grill marks, a juicy, sweet, soft yet crispy veggie. Now that's grilled zucchini!

I have been making this for years and I have found you don't need the foil. I usually put the zucchini strips in a ziploc, add olive oil, and season with salt, pepper and usually some cayenne. Then just put them directly on the grill. They are even better if they get a little "burnt" looking.

Wrapping in foil steams veggies. Direct grilling is best. And not much oil needed or turns mushy. Zucchini grilled this way is delicious tossed with pasta.

Unfortunately, the picture shows zucchini with grill marks, but the recipe merely steams them. You can do this just as easily in a microwave. This is not grilling.

Tasty but mushy. I used cooking spray instead of butter. I added fresh chopped italian parsley in addition to the oregano. I also added vidalia onion. It was okay - would have grilled the zucchini rather than wrapping it in foil & steaming.

This is such a refreshing way to have vegetables during the summer time. I added summer squash to the zucchini and instead of using butter, sprayed some cooking spray on top. It was really good. Definately will be making this again.

They came out pretty mushy but tasted good anyways. I used oregano in addition. I'll try direct grilling next time.

My kids ate these, which says a lot! I'll have to adjust grilling time next time I make, some came out mushy, others came out wonderful! Very yummy! Nice change from other veggies with dinner.
