This grilled squash is a tasty way to use up all the yellow squash you have pouring out of your garden every summer. I also do this same thing with zucchini.
Ingredients
- 4 medium yellow squash
- 0.5 cups extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic , crushed
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
1
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
-
2
Cut squash horizontally into 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thick slices so that you have nice long strips that won't fall through the grill.
-
3
Heat olive oil in a small pan, and add garlic cloves. Cook over medium heat until the garlic starts to sizzle and become fragrant. Brush slices of squash with garlic oil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
4
Grill squash slices for 5 to 10 minutes per side, or until they reach the desired tenderness. Brush with additional garlic oil, and turn occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.

In this roasted butternut squash, garlic, and apple soup recipe, butternut squash, sweet potato, carrot, and garlic are roasted in large pieces and added to onion, celery, apple, and vegetable broth. An immersion blender thickens without adding fat. If you prefer more savory flavors to spicy ones, use curry powder instead of cayenne pepper. You can use apple juice in place of cider, and chicken broth instead of vegetable broth.
Blackberry Compote
Make this simple blackberry compote with fresh blackberries! It has a chunky consistency, but you can mash the berries with a fork or potato masher if you like it smoother. The longer you simmer the compote, the more concentrated the flavors become. Serve it over ice cream, crêpes, yogurt, oatmeal, or ricotta toast.
