1. Gather Ingredients

Ingredients you will need:

• 4 tbsp olive oil divided
• 1/4 cup minced shallot
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
• 2 medium zucchini
• 2 medium yellow squash
• kosher salt and ground pepper

2. Preheat Grill & Prep Ingredients

Preheat grill to medium high heat.

In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons olive oil, shallot, garlic, rosemary and parsley; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.

3. Grill Zucchini

Brush zucchini and squash with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Add to grill in a single layer, and cook until charred on both sides and just beginning to soften, about 2 minutes per side.

4. Drizzle & Serve

Serve immediately, drizzled with olive oil mixture or serve on side for dipping.

As I said above, this recipe is really quite simple and adds a lot of flavor and color for much less effort. It’s super easy to add the zucchini to the grill while you’re entrée is grilling.
