Ingredients

• 1.75 pounds zucchini, about 3 zucchini measuring 7 or 8 inches long

• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil

• 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning

• ½ teaspoon coarse kosher salt

• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 tablespoon best quality aged balsamic vinegar, or balsamic glaze

Instructions

Preheat grill to medium heat.

Trim stem and blossom ends off zucchini. Cut lengthwise into long slabs about 1/3-inch thick. Lay on work surface. Brush oil over the zucchini with a pastry brush. Combine Italian seasoning, salt and garlic in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the zucchini.

Grill the zucchini until the charred on the bottom, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip over, avoiding letting the zucchini go through the grates, and continue cooking until just tender but not breaking down, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer to a large platter. Drizzle with balsamic and serve hot or at room temperature.
