Lay a clean tea towel on your bench or table and place zucchini slices on top in a single layer; sprinkle zucchini slices with 1/4 teaspoon of salt; flip slices over and salt the other side with another 1/4 teaspoon salt. Top slices with another clean tea towel. Allow zucchini to rest and release some of its moisture, at least ten minutes.

Arrange zucchini in a single layer on the grill, cooking undisturbed until grill marks form, 3-5 minutes (depending on the size of your slices). Flip zucchini slices and cook another 3-5 minutes until the zucchini rounds are nicely charred and have become slightly tender.
