GRILLED ZUCCHINI SQUASH (a 1-2 bananana difficulty level)



It's been hot again this summer and NOT just in Texas, but across the nation.  It was almost TOO hot even to grill today, but not quite.  Zucchini Squash is another vegetable that does quite well on the grill and it's pretty simple too!

Let's Grill some squash!

WHAT YOU NEED:
3-6 Zucchini Squash - sliced lengthwise with the ends discarded
2-4 T of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Kosher Salt to taste
Freshly Ground Black Pepper to taste

WHAT ELSE YOU NEED:
A grill & appropriate grilling equipment
Knife
Shallow Pan (cookie sheet etc)

WHAT YOU DO:
1.  Prep & Pre Heat the Grill to Medium Heat

2.  Cut off ends of the Zucchini, then slice lengthwise

3.  Place cut side up in the Shallow Pan & Drizzle Olive Oil over the pieces
Might as well grill some Portobellos while I'm at it!

4.  Season with Salt & Pepper to taste
...and Roast some Peppers!

5.  Place cut side up on grill for 3-5 minutes depending on thickness of the Zucchini planks.
6.  Flip cut side down & grill for another 3-5 minutes

7.  Remove from the Grill

8.  Serve as a side dish or as part of a main course!

This is just a very basic Grilled squash recipe that utilizes just Salt & Pepper.  It's nice & simple and it tastes great!  The grilled squash does well as a side dish or as part of the main dish such as rice, quinoa etc.

'anymonkeycan' grill great tasting Zucchini Squash because 'this one' just did!

Until next time,
your favorite neigborweb monkey!
