Tips:

1. Choose the right zucchini: Select firm, straight zucchini with smooth skin. Avoid any that are bruised or have blemishes. 2. Cut the zucchini properly: For grilled Italian zucchini, cut the zucchini into 1/2-inch thick slices lengthwise. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming too soft. 3. Marinate the zucchini: Marinating the zucchini in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to infuse them with flavor. You can use a simple marinade of olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper, or try a more complex one with red pepper flakes, oregano, and basil. 4. Grill the zucchini over medium heat: Grilling the zucchini over medium heat will help to prevent them from burning and allow them to cook evenly. Cook the zucchini for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are tender and slightly charred. 5. Serve the zucchini immediately: Grilled Italian zucchini is best served immediately, while they are still hot and tender. You can serve them as a side dish, appetizer, or main course.
