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!).
