Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Yellow summer squash
- 4 medium Zucchini
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves Freshly minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Slice the yellow summer squash and zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Whisk until well combined to create the marinade.
Place the squash and zucchini slices into a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag.
Pour the marinade over the squash and zucchini slices, and gently toss to coat all pieces evenly.
Allow the vegetables to marinate for at least 10 minutes while the grill heats up, ensuring they absorb the flavors.
Once the grill is hot, place the squash and zucchini slices directly on the grill grates in a single layer.
Grill the squash and zucchini for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
Remove from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy a delightful soy-free grilled summer squash!
