Garlic-Grilled Yellow Squash
Garlic-Grilled Yellow Squash brings out the vegetable’s natural sweetness with a gentle char and a glossy coat of olive oil. Lightly garlicky and well-seasoned, it’s a bright, summery side that pairs beautifully with grilled meats or a fresh salad. Serve it warm for weeknight dinners, backyard cookouts, or as a simple accompaniment to Mediterranean-inspired plates.

Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Slice the squash horizontally into 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thick pieces to make long strips that will not fall through the grill.

Warm olive oil in a small pan and add the garlic cloves. Cook over medium heat until the garlic begins to sizzle and smell fragrant. Brush the squash slices with the garlic oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Grill the squash slices for 5 to 10 minutes per side, or until they reach your preferred tenderness. Brush with more garlic oil and turn them occasionally to avoid sticking or burning.
