Grilled and Marinated Zucchini and Yellow Squash Recipe image

"It's amazing how a quick and simply marinade can change the flavors of zucchini and yellow squash. This lemony-peppery mixture really wakes them up. This may seem to be in reverse order-grill, then marinate-but it's a classic Italian technique that creates great results."-Bobby Flay

Categories Vegetable

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 to 3 medium zucchini (about 1 pound in all)
2 to 3 medium yellow squash or more zucchini (about 1 pound
in all)
1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried mint
1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
Coarse salt and black pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)
You'll also need:
1 cup wood chips (optional; preferably oak, unsoaked)
Vegetable grate (optional)

Steps:

Cut the zucchini and yellow squash lengthwise into 1/4 inch slices. Arrange on a platter or in a baking dish and sprinkle both sides with the garlic, oregano, mint, hot pepper flakes, and lots of salt and pepper. Drizzle 2 tablespoons oil over them, turning the slices several times to coat both sides. Let marinate for 15 minutes. Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to high. If using a vegetable grate, preheat it as well. If using a gas grill, place the wood chips, if desired, in the smoker box or in a smoker pouch and preheat until you see smoke. When ready to cook, if using a charcoal grill, toss the wood chips, if desired, on the coals. Arrange the zucchini and yellow squash slices on the hot grate and grill until nicely browned on both sides, 4 to 6 minutes per side, rotating the slices 90 degrees after 2 minutes on each side to create grillmarks. Transfer to a platter. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over the zucchini and yellow squash and garnish with lemon wedges, if using. Serve at once.

Tips:

Choose fresh, firm zucchini and yellow squash. Look for vegetables that are deep in color and have no blemishes.
Slice the zucchini and yellow squash into thin, even pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
Marinate the zucchini and yellow squash in olive oil, garlic, and herbs. This will help them to flavor and prevent them from sticking to the grill.
Grill the zucchini and yellow squash over medium heat for 5-7 minutes per side. Be careful not to overcook them, or they will become mushy.
Serve the grilled zucchini and yellow squash immediately. They can be enjoyed on their own or as a side dish with grilled meats or fish.

Conclusion:

Grilled zucchini and yellow squash is a healthy and delicious summer side dish. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its vibrant colors and slightly sweet flavor, grilled zucchini and yellow squash is a perfect way to add some freshness to your next meal.
