FAQ
How do you roast zucchini without it getting mushy?
ELEVATE THE ZUCCHINI by placing it on a baking rack, and then placing that baking rack on top of your regular baking sheet. This allows air to circulate on all sides of the zucchini, and aids in the water evaporating so the zucchini is beautifully caramelized, not soggy.
Why is my grilled zucchini soggy?
Because zucchini has such a high water content, if you’ve ever simply thrown it on the grill, you may have noticed it gets soggy rather than crispy like most grilled vegetables.
What is the best way to cut zucchini for grilling?
Because zucchini contains folate, or vitamin B-9, which supports your metabolism by assisting in the breakdown of proteins and nucleic acids, eating raw or grilled zucchini is also good for your health.
