A simple, quick, and flavorful grilled vegetable dish featuring zucchini and yellow squash topped with tangy feta cheese, perfect for summer BBQs or light meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick strips
  • 2 medium yellow squash, sliced lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick strips
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (205°C), for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Wash and slice the zucchini and yellow squash lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick strips.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the squash slices with olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Place the squash slices directly on the grill grates or in a grill basket.
  5. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, flipping once, until tender and slightly charred but still tender-crisp.
  6. Transfer the grilled squash to a serving platter.
  7. While still warm, sprinkle the crumbled feta evenly over the top to soften slightly from the residual heat.
  8. Drizzle fresh lemon juice over the dish and scatter chopped parsley for garnish.
  9. Serve immediately warm or at room temperature.

Notes

If squash browns too quickly, lower the heat or move to a cooler part of the grill. Use tongs to flip to avoid breaking the slices. Add feta only after grilling to keep it creamy. Can be prepared indoors using a grill pan or broiler. For vegan version, omit feta or substitute with vegan cheese or toasted pine nuts.
