Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 medium yellow squash
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Wash the zucchini and yellow squash under running water and dry them with a clean kitchen towel.
Trim the ends of the zucchini and yellow squash, then slice them lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick strips.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the zucchini and yellow squash slices to the bowl and toss gently until both vegetables are evenly coated with the marinade.
Place the vegetable slices directly on the preheated grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, or until the vegetables are tender and have nice grill marks.
Remove the grilled zucchini and yellow squash from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Drizzle the grilled vegetables with lemon juice to enhance their flavor.
Serve the grilled zucchini and yellow squash warm as a side dish or light main course.
