Grilling zucchini helps to enhance the flavor of this mild-tasting vegetable, which you can slice in a number of ways, depending on how you wish to serve it. For bite-sized zucchini squares, the squash need to be sliced lengthwise before grilling, then divided into even-sized squares, trimming off the rounded edges. You can use the grilled zucchini squares as appetizers, topping the squares with mozzarella cheese and olives, as miniature sandwiches or enjoy them lightly seasoned as is.
