This easy and flavorful grilled yellow squash recipe features tender, lightly seasoned squash slices grilled to perfection. Ideal as a healthy side dish, the squash is brushed with a simple olive oil and spice mixture and sprinkled with fresh parsley for a vibrant finish.

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 3 medium yellow squash, cut into long, 1/4 inch strips

Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat Grill: Heat grill or grill pan on stovetop to medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the squash slices evenly.
  2. Prepare Squash: Lay the sliced yellow squash out flat on a cutting board ensuring they are in a single layer for even seasoning and grilling.
  3. Make Olive Oil Mixture: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, kosher salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder to create a flavorful seasoning mixture.
  4. Season Squash: Brush or pour the olive oil mixture over both sides of the squash strips, making sure each piece is evenly coated for best taste and grill marks.
  5. Grill Squash: Place the seasoned squash slices on the hot grill. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until grill lines appear, then flip and cook an additional 2 to 4 minutes until the squash is tender but not mushy.
  6. Serve: Transfer the grilled yellow squash strips onto a large platter, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, smoky flavors.

Notes

  • If you don’t have a grill, a grill pan on the stovetop works well as a substitute.
  • Cut the squash evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste if preferred spicier or milder.
  • Serve as a side dish for grilled meats or as part of a vegetarian meal.
  • Leftover grilled squash can be refrigerated and enjoyed cold or reheated.
