I love summer and being able to break out the grill to go with all the fresh produce from the garden and the farmer’s markets. I love grilled vegetables and we eat a fair amount of different grilled veggies during the summer depending on what is in season and fresh. My current obsession is green beans and squash, yum! They are simple to make and don’t heat up the stove or require me to be in the warm kitchen when I can be sitting on the deck with a glass of iced tea as I cook supper!
Ingredients:
2-3 patty pan squash (quartered)
2-3 small zucchini squash (sliced, 1.5 inch thick)
1-2 tbsp olive oil (just enough for a light coating on the veggies)
Salt and pepper
Directions,
1. In a bowl combine the squash, oil, salt and pepper. Toss to coat the squash in oil and seasonings.
2. On a grill heated to medium high, place squash in a veggie basket on medium heat.
3. Gill for 5-10 minutes (depending on the size of your squash). Stir occasionally.
The squash should be soft and warm when done but still have some firmness left ( I am not a fan of mushy squash, so I like mine a little more on the firm side).
4. Enjoy
Reviews:
I love how simply this is for those busy summer evenings. That and it is a nice fresh light vegetable side perfect for eating outside. These have even got my husband, who normally does not like squash, eating zucchini and liking it! He even ate the extra I made (hoping to have some for my lunch the next day) along with his regular portion for supper!
