Grilled Zucchini - Allergy Free CookBook

Updated: Sep 24

Grilled zucchini is frequently paired with yellow squash. Zucchini grows larger than most yellow squash varieties. However, for the grill, small, barely developed zucchini is best. If zucchini grows larger than yellow squash, the skin may have to be sliced off. The interior is drier, and the seeds are larger. An alternative for grilling in butter is to use vegetable oil, or vinegar and vegetable oil mixture. No breading of any kind is recommended for grilling zucchini. There are gluten free breading mixtures available for other zucchini dishes. If desired, marinate zucchini for 10 to 15 minutes in vegetable oil.
