Grilled Zucchini And Squash Recipes

GRILLED ZUCCHINI & SQUASH

Steps:

• Slice your zucchini and squash into circles 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick. (I would not go any thinner than 1/3 inch.)
• Preheat your grill to medium heat.
• In a large bowl add your vegetable slices, olive oil, and seasonings. Use your hands or a spoon to move around the veggies until they're lightly coated.
• Lay zucchini and squash slices on the grill. We'll use any remaining oil at the end so just leave it in the bowl. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes per side (8 to 10 minutes total) or until you achieve the desired softness.
• Remove from grill and plate. Drizzle remaining oil/herb/seasoning mixture over your grilled zucchini and squash.

Cover and marinate at room temperature at least 3 hours or cover and refrigerate up to 1 day.
