Lemon-Pepper Grilled Zucchini and Yellow Squash

Lemon-Pepper Grilled Zucchini and Yellow Squash brings bright citrus and gentle heat to tender ribbons of summer squash. Butter melts into the vegetables, rounding out the zingy lemon and cayenne for a balanced, peppery finish. Serve it as a fresh, warm-weather side at cookouts or alongside simple grilled proteins for weeknight dinners.
