Many years ago I had a Greek friend who taught me to brush zucchini with olive oil, season with Greek Seasoning, and grill it for a simple zucchini side dish. That recipe had been hanging out in the archives for so many years without anyone making it, so when we decided to give it an update we also gave it a makeover in the WOW department!

And happily that simple Greek Zucchini recipe morphed into this completely delicious and amazing Easy Grilled Greek Zucchini. If you like Greek flavors and grilled zucchini, I promise that this might become your new favorite way to cook zucchini.

And the true sign of an absolute keeper recipe at my house is that the morning after we had made the Grilled Greek Zucchini you see in these photos I pulled the leftovers out of the fridge and ate them for breakfast! And the reheated zucchini with the slightly-more-melted Feta cheese might have been even better than it was when we made it! PLEASE make this recipe! I promise, you will not regret it!

What ingredients do you need for this recipe?

What gives this Grilled Greek Zucchini the Greek flavors?

For this recipe we brushed the recipe with olive oil, preferably Greek olive oil. We sprinkled the zucchini with Greek Seasoning (affiliate link) before we grilled it. And when it was cooked, we arranged it on a plate and sprinkled with a generous amount of Feta cheese.

How can you cook Grilled Greek Zucchini without an outdoor grill?

I have post on the site about How to Grill Zucchini and even a round-up of Low-Carb Grilled Zucchini Recipes, so it’s obvious I’m a grilled zucchini fan. But for this recipe update we grilled the zucchini with a Stovetop Grill Pan (affiliate link), which was extra easy. You could also cook this zucchini on a George Foreman Grill (affiliate link), which will cook it even more quickly. And of course, it will be great cooked on an outdoor grill too.
