I love fresh produce that’s simply prepared. And it doesn’t get much easier than this Grilled Stuffed Zucchini.
Grill or oven method
These zucchini can actually be done in the oven too, but in these warm summer and fall months, I love the use of the grill to keep all the heat outside. And, who wants to turn on the oven now? Not this girl!
So, feel free to choose whichever method works better for you on whatever day you’re making these awesome fresh and yummy stuffed zucchini.
Year round side dish
These zucchini can be a year round simple treat. Great as a side dish at a special dinner like Christmas or Thanksgiving. Equally welcome as a simple side with some grilled fish for a light summer dinner.

Grilled Stuffed Zucchini Recipe
Grilled Stuffed Zucchini
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high or preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cut out 4 rectangles of foil large enough to wrap each zucchini, and drizzle a little oil on each piece of foil.
- Cut a thin triangular slit along the length of each zucchini, and remove the extra (you can snack on this little extra bit).
- Insert pieces of the cheese into the slits in the zucchini. Sprinkle with some herbs, black pepper, and salt. Drizzle each zucchini with a little oil.
- Wrap each zucchini in the prepared foil. If grilling: place the wrapped zucchini directly on the grill grates, and close the lid of the grill. Cook for about 25 minutes, or until you can hear the oil sizzling and the zucchini is tender. If baking: place the wrapped zucchini in a large casserole dish or on a baking sheets, and bake in the 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes, or until you can hear the oil sizzling and the zucchini is tender.

What an awesome way to use zucchini – love the idea of goats cheese on top!

I always try to stuff zucchini with things like quinoa, and my husband won’t eat it. Maybe the key is cheese – who doesn’t like veggies stuffed with cheese?!

It’s been a two week long heatwave here, this almost effortless dish is just the thing we need.

This sounds delicious! I tried something similar in the oven but the cheese I picked didn’t work that well. I bet goat cheese would be perfect! Definitely trying this 🙂

We usually do these as boat shapes, but I like the way you have presented them too.
