Ingredients

• 2 medium Zucchini
• 2 medium Yellow squash
• 4 small Pattypan squash
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 whole Lemon (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the zucchini, yellow squash, and pattypan squash.

Step 2

Trim the ends of the zucchini and yellow squash, then slice them lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick planks. For the pattypan squash, cut each one into 1/2-inch thick rounds or wedges.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to make a marinade.

Step 4

Add the sliced squashes into the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the marinade. Let them sit for 5-10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 5

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375–400°F). Clean the grill grates and lightly oil them to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Place the squash pieces directly onto the grill grates in a single layer. Grill for approximately 3-4 minutes per side, or until char marks appear and the squash is tender but not mushy.

Step 7

Remove the grilled squash from the heat and arrange them on a serving platter.

Step 8

Optionally, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the grilled squash before serving for a bright, tangy finish.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your Tri Color Summer Squash on the Grill!
