Ingredients
- 4 medium Summer squash
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Directions
Step 1
Wash the summer squash thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
Trim the ends of the squash and cut them into 1/4-inch thick slices lengthwise to create long strips.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together to form a uniform marinade.
Step 4
Add the squash slices to the bowl and toss well to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the marinade. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 5
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 6
Place the marinated squash slices on the grill grates in a single layer. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the squash becomes tender.
Step 7
Remove the grilled squash from the heat and transfer them to a serving platter.
Step 8
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the warm squash for a savory, cheesy finish.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a delightful side dish to complement any main course.
