Ingredients
- 4 medium summer squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375-400°F (190-205°C).
Step 2
While the grill is heating, rinse and pat dry the summer squash. Slice each squash lengthwise into quarters. If they are particularly large, you may cut them into eighths.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well incorporated.
Step 4
Add the squash slices to the bowl, gently tossing until the squash is evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Step 5
Place the seasoned squash slices directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are tender and have prominent grill marks.
Step 6
Remove the grilled squash from the grill and place on a serving platter. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
Step 7
Serve immediately as a delicious low-carb side dish or as a main dish paired with a salad.
