Kiss the Cook: Zucchini on the grill? Yes, please!

Summertime is a great time of the year to eat garden fresh vegetables. Recently, a co-worker gave me a nice zucchini from his garden. Being that I’m in a mood to cook on the grill a lot lately, I decided to try a recipe for grilled zucchini that combined garlic and parmesan cheese.

The recipe below is so simple and easy to make. It makes a perfect vegetable side dish. I added no salt or pepper, but you can add that to taste, if you prefer. The grated parmesan cheese is fantastic on this, but you could get creative and use whatever cheese you have on hand. So, try this easy recipe the next time you get a fresh zucchini, I’m sure you will enjoy it.
