BBQ GRILLED SQUASH AND ZUCCHINI

BBQ Grilled Squash and Zucchini image

Our pastor's daughter fixed this for a cookout we had at his house. We are used to using zucchini in bread only and frying squash. This was something new...different...exciting! I LOVED IT! So I came home and prepared this every time Mom and Dad passed me some fresh veggies outta the garden. It's so simple and cooks right along side your meat on the grill. You will have to start it before the meat and tend it good because it will stick. Give it a try..it's DEEEEElish!

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

Ingredients

1/2-1 cup kraft honey barbeque sauce (this is specifically what Donna used, but any HONEY bbq will do)
5 -10 medium squash or 5 -10 medium zucchini

Steps:

Oil the grill surface or spray with Pam. Preheat grill to medium.
Cut veggies into spears. Place them in a casserole dish large enough to hold them and roll them around a bit.
Pour enough bbq sauce onto the spears to coat. Toss to coat evenly. This can also be done in a zip-top bag.
When the grill is hot, about 10-15 minutes before placing your meat on the grill, place the vegetable spears lengthwise across the grates so they will not slip through. Grill, brushing on extra bbq sauce.
Cook until heated completely through and done to you liking. I like serving them hot but tender-crisp.

Tips:

Choose firm, ripe zucchini and squash for smoking. Avoid vegetables that are bruised or have blemishes.
Slice the zucchini and squash into 1-inch thick rounds or halves. This will help them cook evenly.
Toss the zucchini and squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees Fahrenheit. If you don't have a smoker, you can use a grill or oven.
Place the zucchini and squash on the smoker grates and smoke for 1-2 hours, or until they are tender. Flip the vegetables halfway through cooking.
Serve the smoked zucchini and squash immediately or store them in the refrigerator for later use.
