Tips:

Choose firm and fresh zucchini: Look for zucchini that are deep green in color and have smooth, blemish-free skin. Avoid zucchini that are soft or have bruises.
Slice the zucchini evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the slices are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may burn on the outside before the inside is cooked through.
Marinate the zucchini: Marinating the zucchini in a mixture of miso paste, olive oil, and garlic will help to add flavor and moisture. You can also add other spices and herbs to the marinade, such as red pepper flakes, oregano, or basil.
Grill the zucchini over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning. Cook the zucchini for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
Serve the zucchini immediately: Grilled zucchini is best served hot off the grill. You can drizzle them with additional olive oil, sprinkle them with salt and pepper, or add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt.

Conclusion:

Grilled zucchini with miso is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a main meal or as a snack. The zucchini is tender and flavorful, and the miso marinade adds a unique and savory flavor. This dish is also very easy to make, making it a great option for busy weeknight meals.
