I love grilling vegetables, not only because they taste delicious, but I find it quite handy to cook an entire meal outdoors- and it is nice to avoid heating up the kitchen during the hot summer months. This is a super quick side, no time spent peeling, slicing, or dicing. Just halve your squash, mix up your sauce, and get right down to the grilling business. This recipe (adapted from ) does not call for any salt, but I really felt it needed some, so I gave the squash a generous sprinkling of kosher salt after it came off the grill. Unless you are watching your sodium intake, I think the flavor definitely benefits from a good dose of salt. Ingredients:
3 -4 small summer squash (combination of zucchini and yellow squash) |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon paprika |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
Directions:
1. Halve each squash, but do not peel. 2. Combine sauce ingredients and brush squash with sauce. 3. Place on medium hot grill and cook about 5 minutes on each side, basting frequently with the sauce. |
