Grilled zucchini and yellow squash are tender off the grill with a hint of char, spicy garlic and a bit of zing from fresh lemon juice.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 large zucchini, sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
2 large summer squash, sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 teaspoon ground pepper
¾ teaspoon salt
1 ½ tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

Preheat grill to medium-high (400-450°F). Combine olive oil and garlic in a small bowl. Brush zucchini and squash with the oil mixture; sprinkle with pepper and salt.
Oil the grill grates by partially soaking a few paper towels in canola oil and using tongs to quickly wipe the grates. Place the vegetables on the oiled grates; grill, covered, until the zucchini and squash are just tender and grill marks appear, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Transfer the vegetables to a serving platter. Sprinkle with parsley and drizzle with lemon juice.

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.)
