Grilled Zucchini with Balsamic Glaze

Tender grilled zucchini with lightly charred edges, creamy cheese, and fresh herbs, finished with a drizzle of Nonna Pia’s Classic Balsamic Glaze. This easy grilled zucchini recipe pairs with just about anything.

INGREDIENTS

2 medium zucchini or summer squash, sliced lengthwise into thick planks
1–2 tbsp olive oil
Salt, to taste
Cracked black pepper, to taste
¼ cup crumbled goat cheese, feta, or cotija
Fresh basil, parsley, or mint, optional
2–3 tbsp Nonna Pia’s Classic Balsamic Glaze

DIRECTIONS

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Wash the zucchini and slice it lengthwise into thick planks.
Brush both sides of the zucchini with olive oil. Season with salt and cracked black pepper.
Place the zucchini on the hot grill and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, until tender with lightly charred grill marks.
Transfer the grilled zucchini to a serving platter.
Top with crumbled cheese and fresh herbs, if using.
Drizzle generously with Nonna Pia’s Classic Balsamic Glaze just before serving.

SERVING TIP

Serve alongside grilled steak, chicken, seafood, burgers, or sausages. Use goat cheese for a Mediterranean-inspired side, feta with Greek or Italian meals, or cotija when serving with tacos or fajitas.

Eggplant can also be substituted for the zucchini. The sweet and tangy balsamic glaze adds plenty of flavor without the need for a complicated sauce.
