Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 medium yellow squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (or ½ tsp garlic powder)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: fresh herbs, lemon juice, or balsamic glaze for garnish
Instructions
- Wash and dry the vegetables. Slice them lengthwise into ¼-inch thick planks.
- In a bowl, toss slices with olive oil, garlic, seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high.
- Place slices on the grill without overlapping. Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side until tender and nicely charred.
- Remove from grill and garnish with lemon juice, balsamic glaze, or fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a punchier flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a splash of lemon zest before grilling.
- Avoid overcooking—zucchini and squash should remain tender but slightly firm to the bite.
- Leftovers are great in sandwiches, pasta, or over salads.
