Time 17m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 summer squash (1 1/2 to 2 pounds give or take)
1/4 cup olive oil
chopped fresh parsley
kosher salt (to taste)
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

Preheat the grill w/all burners on high for 10 minutes (lid down).
Wash the squash, pat down dry. Trim the tops and bottoms, then rub olive oil over them.
Once the gill is hot, turn off the center burner, turn the other burners to medium. Put the whole squash over the center burner, close the lid and cook until easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife/fork. Depending on the size of the squash, this will take approximately 12-20 minutes.
Turn the squash as needed.
Transfer the squash to a cutting board, slice, then toss with the parsley, salt and pepper.
Enjoy!

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 medium zucchini or yellow squash
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp honey
2 tsp vinegar, preferably apple cider or red wine
1 tsp fresh thyme, removed from stems
2 pinch paprika
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

1. Note: I like to cut and season these before prepping the rest of my food to be grilled. That way, I don't have to worry about cross-contamination with meat. Plus, it gives the seasoning time to soak in a bit. I also make sure these are one of the last things I grill because they don't require a lot of heat, so if you're grilling on wood or charcoal they can go on as the fire is starting to die down. If you're grilling meat, you can put these on as soon as you take your meat off. By the time these are done, it should have allowed enough time for your meat to properly rest, which means everything is done at the same time!
2. Rinse off squash and quarter lengthwise, place on a large plate skin side down
3. Drizzle squash with olive oil, honey, and vinegar.
4. Sprinkle with thyme and paprika, then salt and pepper to taste.
5. Place on grill skin side down over medium heat and turn occasionally. Cook until tender, about ten minutes.
