Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 medium 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 to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F) or heat a grill pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat.
Wash the zucchini and yellow squash thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Trim the ends of the zucchini and squash. Slice them lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick strips to allow for even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Place the zucchini and squash slices on a large plate or tray. Brush both sides with the seasoned olive oil mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Place the zucchini and squash slices on the preheated grill or grill pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the vegetables are tender but not mushy.
Carefully remove the grilled zucchini and squash from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Serve immediately as a side dish, or garnish with additional oregano or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired.
