Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized yellow squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 small lemon
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash and dry the yellow squash. Cut off both ends and slice the squash into approximately 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Add the sliced yellow squash to the bowl and gently toss them until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Step 5
Place the squash slices in a single layer on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4 minutes on each side or until tender with light grill marks.
Step 6
While the squash is grilling, cut the lemon in half and prepare to squeeze it over the grilled squash.
Step 7
Once the squash is tender, remove them from the grill and transfer to a serving plate.
Step 8
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the grilled yellow squash for a burst of flavor. Optionally, garnish with additional oregano or freshly chopped parsley before serving immediately.
