Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large zucchini
  • 2 large yellow squash
  • 1 large onion
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic pressed with a garlic press

Instructions
 

To grill zucchini and yellow squash coins

  • Chop the squash and peel and chop the onion. Toss in olive oil to coat.
  • Place all of the chopped veggies into a grill basket. Grill over medium-high heat until onions are crisp-tender.
  • Let the veggies cool a little, then toss with garlic and spices of your choice. We like just plain garlic, and we also like to sprinkle on Pampered Chef spice rubs.

To grill zucchini and yellow squash planks

  • Slice zucchini, squash, and onions into thick slices using a mandoline slicer.
  • Brush each side of each plank with olive oil, not enough to make it dripping, but enough to make it moist.
  • Place squash directly on the grill grates over medium-high heat. Aim for 5 minutes on each side, but watch carefully because they burn quickly.
