Ingredients for Tri Color Summer Squash On The Grill

  • Zucchini
  • 2 medium yellow squash, sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch thick pieces
  • Pattypan Squash
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt And Pepper
  • Parmesan Cheese
  • Horseradish Sauce

How to Make Tri Color Summer Squash On The Grill

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced squash with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  3. Marinate the squash for at least 30 minutes (longer is better!).
  4. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  5. Grill the squash slices for 4-5 minutes per side, or until tender and slightly charred. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
  6. Remove from grill and let cool slightly before serving.
  7. Serve immediately as a side dish or chop into salads, pasta dishes, or enjoy as a snack with your favorite dressing (try recipe #213989!).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
