Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium summer squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375-400°F (190-205°C).
While the grill is heating, rinse and pat dry the summer squash. Slice each squash lengthwise into quarters. If they are particularly large, you may cut them into eighths.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well incorporated.
Add the squash slices to the bowl, gently tossing until the squash is evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Place the seasoned squash slices directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are tender and have prominent grill marks.
Remove the grilled squash from the grill and place on a serving platter. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately as a delicious low-carb side dish or as a main dish paired with a salad.
