How to Make Grilled Teriyaki Zucchini And Yellow Squash

  1. Wash and trim 2 medium zucchini and 2 medium yellow squash, removing the stem ends. Slice each vegetable lengthwise into 4 (approximately 1/2-inch thick) pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the zucchini and yellow squash slices with the teriyaki marinade, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the vegetables to fully absorb the marinade.
  4. Preheat grill to medium heat.
  5. Arrange the marinated zucchini and yellow squash slices in a single layer on the preheated grill grates.
  6. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until tender and slightly charred, basting occasionally with the remaining marinade.
  7. During the last minute of grilling, sprinkle generously with grated Parmesan cheese.
  8. Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the delicious smoky flavor!
  9. Serve fanned out on a platter.
