Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized zucchini
- 2 medium-sized yellow squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, around 375°F (190°C).
Wash and dry the zucchini and yellow squash. Slice them lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick planks.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk to mix.
Add the sliced zucchini and yellow squash to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the olive oil mixture.
Place the squash slices directly on the preheated grill grates. Grill for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until tender and lightly charred.
Carefully remove the squash from the grill using tongs and transfer it to a serving platter.
Serve immediately as a side dish or as a topping for salads, sandwiches, or wraps. Enjoy!
