Instructions

  1. Turn on your grill to high heat and let it warm up for about 10 minutes.
  2. Cut the top and bottom tips from your zucchini and summer squash
  3. Slice the zucchini and summer squash in a diagonal position and make sure the slices are thick – about ½” to ¾”.They need to be thicker cut so they don’t fall apart on the grill.
  4. Lay out all the squash on a sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat everything.
  5. Spray some non-stick spray on your grill before adding the veggies.
  6. Place the zucchini and squash on your grill (still on high heat). Spread them out a little so you have room to turn them. Close the lid and let them cook for 3-4 minutes on one side. All grills are different. I kept mine on high heat and they came out great. Just watch the flame so they don’t get burned.
  7. After 3-4 minutes, turn the zucchini and squash and cook another 3-4 minutes with the lid closed.
  8. Remove veggies from the grill and let cool a few minutes.
  9. If you’re using the optional parsley garnish, chop that now while veggies are cooling.
  10. If serving family style, arrange the veggies on a platter and drizzle Romesco sauce on top.
