Grilled Zucchini and Yellow Squash





This is a really easy way to make a side dish. Chop, marinate and grill. I prefer grilled veggies to steamed stuff. The squash stays much crisper and tastes like summer! It was absolutely beautiful today and I heard the barbeque a'calling. We had the grilled veggies with carmelized carrots and brown rice, served along side blackened halibut. I'm always happy when a recipe is healthy and tastes good too.

Ingredients:
1 medium zucchini
2 small yellow squash
1/2 cup white wine
1 tbs grape seed oil
1 tbs almond oil (sub. both oils for 2 tbs olive oil)
1 tbs balsamic vinegar
1 tsp mix garlic and ginger
1 tsp savory seasonings
1 tsp herb de provence
2 tsp "Roast Vegetable and Fries Seasonings" (basically season salt with a pinch of cayenne)

Recipe:
  • Cut veggies into 1/2 inch rounds
  • Place veggies in bag and add above marinade. Marinate for at least 1 hours, more is better.
  • Roast veggies on hot grill. Flip when there are grill marks, about 3 minutes on each side.
Saute some shredded carrots until crispy and mix with grilled veggies. Pretty and yummy!
