Grilled Summer Squash
July 2, 2024
Grilled summer squash is surprisingly sweet, and makes a great side or main plate.
Grilled Summer Squash
Serves 2-4 as a side
INGREDIENTS
- 1 medium – large sized summer squash/zucchini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- OPTIONAL fresh shopped herbs and garlic
INSTRUCTIONS
-
Cut ends off summer squash and then cut in half, resulting in two cylinders. Stand cylinders on end and slice ¼ inch thick rectangles from squash. If using a patty pan squash, slice ¼ inch circles from the squash standing on its side. The result is ¼” thick summer squash slabs.
-
Place squash slices in a wide bowl or pie plate and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle salt and pepper, and herbs if using. Mix squash and olive oil until all slices are oiled.
-
Grill squash slices like steaks, flat side down, on medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the bottom side is browned but not burnt. Flip slices and let cook until browned.
-
Serve and enjoy!
