How do you Make a Foil Pack for Grilling:

Making a foil pack is a quick and easy way to prepare you side dishes.

Prepare but tearing off a large piece of foil. The size of foil will depend on how much you are grilling.
Lay the foil on the counter and place your chopped vegetables on the foil.
Drizzle the top of the vegetables with oil and season.
Take the two sides of the foil and place them together.
Then roll the sides down to the vegetables. Do the ends the same way.
There is no need to pierce the foil packets with a fork.
The foil packet is now ready to be place on the grill.

How Long to Grill Zucchini in Foil:

Zucchini grilled in foil only takes a few minutes on each side. I like to place the vegetable packets on the grill when the meat is almost finished cooking.

Flip the packet several times, to ensure that the vegetables are evenly cooked. If you cut your zucchini in larger pieces it could take a few minutes to cook.

Tip for grilled zucchini packet on the grill:

Carefully Open Foil Packet – The zucchini side dish continues to cook after you pull it off the grill. Go ahead and open up the packet quickly and remove it right before it is done, so you don’t end up with soggy zucchini.
Crispy Zucchini – I like my zucchini still slightly crispy so make sure to open the packet if you prefer the zucchini the same.
Slice Zucchini – Make sure to slice the zucchini about the same size. This way all pieces cook evenly.
Seasoning – Make sure to put some kind of oil or butter in the foil packet. This prevents the vegetables from sticking in the foil.
Heavy Duty Foil – When grilling foil packets, we recommend buying the heavy duty foil. This prevents it from tearing as your grill when cooked on high heat.

How to Grill Zucchini and Squash on the stove:

You can easily grill the veggies on the stove if you have a grill pan. Another option is to put the foil pack in the oven for a quick and easy side dish option.

We have made squash and zucchini foil packets in oven when the weather was bad and we could not grill. Clean up is still so easy even if you use your oven.

This recipe is so versatile and easy. We love foil pack recipes make sure to save this recipe.

Variations for Grilled Zucchini:

Parmesan Zucchini – Grated Parmesan Cheese is one my favorite ways to make this recipe. It adds so much flavor and we always have this ingredient in our fridge. Zucchini Parmesan is a quick and easy side dish that is perfect with any grilled meats.
Garlic Powder – We used minced garlic in this recipe, but you can easily use garlic powder.
Other Seasoning – Feel free to add in other seasoning to this recipe. Italian seasoning would be a great addition.
Other Vegetables – Foil packs are great to cook a mixture of vegetables together. Yellow squash is a great addition to this foil pack.
Change the Flavoring – We love to squeeze lemon, but I love to drizzle some balsamic vinegar and top with slice almonds or bacon bits.

How to Store Zucchini Grilled in Foil:

Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. You can reheat these grilled zucchini in the microwave or reheat on the stove top.

We like to store in individual containers with our grilled meats for a quick lunch the next day.

Easy Summer Side Dish:

If you are looking for an easy summer side dish, slice zucchini grills perfectly. You can easily find this vegetable at your local grocery store. The seasoning can be changed or add cheese for added favor.

It only takes a few minutes to grill and the results are a delicious side dish that everyone will enjoy.
