Marinated And Grilled Zucchini And Summer 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.

MARINATED GRILLED ZUCCHINI AND SUMMER SQUASH

Steps:

• Cut the zucchini and summer squash into medium-thick slices. Lightly brush them with a little oil and grill on both sides until gently browned and just soft.
• While the zucchini and squash are grilling, whisk together the lemon juice and olive oil, along with a little black pepper, in a bowl that will be big enough for the vegetables. Shred the basil.
• Once the zucchini and squash are ready, carefully toss them in the lemon and oil mixture (whisk a little more just before adding if they have separated), along with the shredded basil. Leave to marinade for a good 5 minutes and serve, or else leave them to come to room temperature and refrigerate until you need them. They should keep fine a day or two refrigerated. Best brought up to room temperature before eating, though chilled also works.
