Grilling Instructions

Preheat your grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high heat, around 375°F to 400°F.
Wash and dry the zucchinis, then slice them into ½-inch thick rounds. Toss with olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, kosher salt, and onion powder.
Arrange the zucchini slices on the grill. Cook for about 2–3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for another 2–3 minutes.
Remove zucchini from the grill, squeeze fresh lemon juice over them, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Optionally, garnish with fresh basil and serve immediately while hot.
