Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Summer squash (zucchini or yellow squash)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by washing and drying the summer squash. Trim the ends off each squash.
Slice the squash diagonally into 1/4-inch thick rounds to provide more surface area for grilling.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Place the sliced squash into a large mixing bowl. Pour the olive oil mixture over the squash and gently toss until all pieces are evenly coated.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, or if using a grill pan, heat it over the stove on medium-high heat.
Arrange the squash slices in a single layer on the grill or grill pan. Cook for about 4 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the squash is tender.
Remove the squash from the grill and serve immediately as a side dish or as part of a larger meal.
