Ingredients for Grilled Zucchini And Squash

  • 2 medium zucchini
  • Yellow Squash
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Italian Seasoning

How to Make Grilled Zucchini And Squash

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Wash and trim 2 medium zucchini and 1 medium yellow squash. Cut each lengthwise into 1/2-inch thick strips.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
  4. Add the zucchini and squash strips to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the olive oil mixture.
  5. Grill the zucchini and squash for 2-3 minutes per side, or until tender and slightly charred. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  6. Remove from grill and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
