Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 medium yellow squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F) or heat a grill pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Wash the zucchini and yellow squash thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 3
Trim the ends of the zucchini and squash. Slice them lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick strips to allow for even cooking.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Place the zucchini and squash slices on a large plate or tray. Brush both sides with the seasoned olive oil mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 6
Place the zucchini and squash slices on the preheated grill or grill pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the vegetables are tender but not mushy.
Step 7
Carefully remove the grilled zucchini and squash from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a side dish, or garnish with additional oregano or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired.
