Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 2 medium Yellow squash
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash the zucchini and yellow squash thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
Trim off the ends of each squash and zucchini. Slice them lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick strips.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a marinade.
Step 4
Place the sliced squash and zucchini in a large mixing bowl. Pour the marinade over the vegetables and toss until each piece is evenly coated.
Step 5
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Arrange the squash and zucchini slices directly on the preheated grill grates. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, flipping once, until the vegetables are tender and have visible grill marks.
Step 7
Remove the grilled squash and zucchini from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a side dish or garnish with fresh herbs for an extra pop of flavor. Enjoy!
