Greek Spiced Grilled Zucchini with Feta

Okay, so how do you guys feel about zucchini?  Sometimes the thought of it, especially cooked, makes me want to gag, but other times I really love it.  For example, I think of it in casseroles or pasta dishes where it gets all soggy and I just can’t do it.  But zucchini baked goods?  Count me in.  Zucchini lasagna? Not for me.  So right around this time of year when zucchini is coming out of everyone’s ears I panic because I typically do one of  three things to do with it:  zucchini bread , zucchini cake, and zucchini muffins  (why yes, I like my carbs, thanks for asking). I think I need to broaden my zucchini horizons.  Keep me accountable to that, will ya?

First attempt at savory zucchini for me: this grilled zucchini topped with feta.  And I liked it.  Scratch that, I loved it!  So much so that I’ve made it twice since I first made it AND I’ve made another savory zucchini recipe in the meantime.  I’m turning a new squash blossom leaf.

We made this grilled zucchini to go along with the Mango Curry Grilled Chicken and they made making dinner a breeze.  This zucchini is simply tossed with some olive oil and Greek-ish herbs like oregano, parsley, and thyme and then grilled to perfection straight on the grill.  You could use a grill pan to make things simpler, but I cut my slices of zucchini long and thin so I could lay them straight on the grill for the grill flavoring and marks.  To finish, I topped the zucchini with some crumbled feta and voila!  Dinner was ready.  Simple, fast, and delicious – my favorite combination!

    Yum! We make grilled zucchini all the time but it’s been getting a wee boring — love this mix-up (especially with the cheese).

      Cheese is always a good way to mix things up, in my opinion!

    Grilled zucchini is one of my favorite easy summer side dishes. I love how you’ve fancified it a bit with the herbs, lemon, and feta. I always use my grill pan when I grill zucchini – it’s so much easier and I don’t have to worry about it falling through the grill grates. 🙂 I know I’ll be trying this soon!

      Thanks Kristine! I agree – using the grill pan is definitely less stressful when grilling veggies!

    Did you peel the zucchini first? Thank you in advance for your response.

      Hi Tammy,
      No I didn’t peel the zucchini, which helps it hold up on the grill. Hope this helps! 🙂
