Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 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
- 1 small lemon
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dry the yellow squash. Cut off both ends and slice the squash into approximately 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Add the sliced yellow squash to the bowl and gently toss them until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Place the squash slices in a single layer on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4 minutes on each side or until tender with light grill marks.
While the squash is grilling, cut the lemon in half and prepare to squeeze it over the grilled squash.
Once the squash is tender, remove them from the grill and transfer to a serving plate.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the grilled yellow squash for a burst of flavor. Optionally, garnish with additional oregano or freshly chopped parsley before serving immediately.
