Grilled Yellow Squash
serves 2-4
Grilling water-rich vegetables like squash concentrates their sweetness and gives them good smoky flavor. Keep the grill hot and clean, and leave the squash alone until they char, and you'll be pleased with how this simple dish comes out.
vegetable oil (for the grill)
2 medium yellow squash
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper
prep: 15 minutes
total: 25 minutes
grill (gas or charcoal)
grill brush
tongs
small bowl
medium bowl
1. If using a gas grill, preheat it to high. Clean the grill with a grill brush. Oil the grill by holding a folded wad of paper towel with tongs, dipping it in vegetable oil, and brushing the oil (sparingly -- it's flammable) onto the grill grate.
2. Rinse and dry the squash. Cut off the ends and discard them. Cut the squash lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick planks. In a medium bowl, toss the squash with the olive oil, garlic and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Grill the squash over direct heat until they're well browned, 4-6 minutes per side.
