Grilled squash is a sweet and tender side dish that pairs with just about anything off the grill. Garlic, thyme and a pinch of crushed red pepper add subtle flavors to this simple dish.

Ingredients

4 summer squash, diagonally sliced 1/2-inch thick
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
½ teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, plus leaves for garnish
½ teaspoon ground pepper
Canola oil for grill

Directions

Preheat grill to medium-high (400-450°F). Combine squash, oil, garlic, salt, crushed red pepper, thyme and pepper in a large bowl; toss until the squash is fully coated.
Oil the grill grates by partially soaking a few paper towels in canola oil, holding with tongs and quickly wiping the grates. Place the squash on the oiled grates; grill, covered, until the squash is just tender and grill marks appear, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the grilled vegetables to a serving platter. Garnish with additional thyme leaves, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
