Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium summer squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
While the grill is heating, wash the summer squash thoroughly under cold running water.
Trim the ends of the squash and slice them lengthwise into quarters, ensuring even thickness for uniform cooking.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to make a marinade.
Brush the marinade evenly over the sliced squash, making sure each piece is well-coated.
Place the squash directly on the preheated grill, with the cut side down.
Grill the squash for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they have nice grill marks and are tender.
Remove the squash from the grill and transfer to a serving plate.
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the grilled squash for a burst of color and added flavor.
Serve warm as a delicious Whole30-friendly side dish.
