Easy Marinated Zucchini & Yellow Squash Side Dish for One image

This is one of the ways I like to cook up zucchini. People often think that zucchini and yellow squash are one in the same, just a different color, but I think zucchinis are chewier and tarter while yellow squash has a sweeter taste. But they both taste great together and also make for a pleasing dish to look at because of the way the colors pop out. Please note that measurements here are approximate except the olive oil; I just shook the spices on until they were coated.

1/2 zucchini
1/2 yellow squash
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon thyme

Steps:

  • Wash the zucchini and yellow squash, cut each in half. Slice the halves into rounds.
  • Put them into a mixing bowl and pour in the olive oil, tossing well to coat.
  • Sprinkle on the sea salt and thyme and toss well to coat again, making sure it's on evenly.
  • Let the mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes to let the oil and flavors soak inches.
