Grilled Squash With Piquant Sauce Recipes

GRILLED SQUASH (PERFECTLY SEASONED!)

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (375 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit).
• Slice the squash on the bias, about 1/2" thick. Place it in a bowl and mix it with the olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and red pepper flakes (if using).
• Place the squash directly on the grill grates and grill for about 2 to 3 minutes per side (4 to 6 minutes total), until charred and tender. Taste and add a few pinches of additional salt if necessary.

GRILLED SUMMER SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Toss 1 1/2 pounds sliced summer squash and 1 sliced onion with olive oil, salt and pepper. Grill 3 to 5 minutes per side. Toss with more olive oil, the zest and juice of 1 lemon, and some chopped parsley and mint. Top with shaved ricotta salata.

GRILLED YELLOW SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat the grill for medium heat.
• Cut the squash horizontally into 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch thick slices so that you have nice long strips that won't fall through the grill.
• Heat olive oil in a small pan, and add garlic cloves. Cook over medium heat until the garlic starts to sizzle and become fragrant. Brush the slices of squash with the garlic oil, and season with salt and pepper.
• Grill squash slices for 5 to 10 minutes per side, until they reach the desired tenderness. Brush with additional garlic oil, and turn occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.

GRILLED SQUASH WITH PIQUANT SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook squash on preheated grill until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Whisk mayonnaise, yogurt, taco sauce, chile paste, and paprika together in a bowl. Top each cooked squash slice with a dollop of mayonnaise mixture.
