GRILLED AND MARINATED ZUCCHINI AND YELLOW SQUASH RECIPE
"It's amazing how a quick and simply marinade can change the flavors of zucchini and yellow squash. This lemony-peppery mixture really wakes them up. This may seem to be in reverse order-grill, then marinate-but it's a classic Italian technique that creates great results."-Bobby Flay

GRILLED ZUCCHINI AND YELLOW SQUASH WITH GREEK SPICES
Steps:
- Cut the zucchini and yellow squash lengthwise into 1/4 inch slices. Arrange on a platter or in a baking dish and sprinkle both sides with the garlic, oregano, mint, hot pepper flakes, and lots of salt and pepper. Drizzle 2 tablespoons oil over them, turning the slices several times to coat both sides. Let marinate for 15 minutes. Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to high. If using a vegetable grate, preheat it as well. If using a gas grill, place the wood chips, if desired, in the smoker box or in a smoker pouch and preheat until you see smoke. When ready to cook, if using a charcoal grill, toss the wood chips, if desired, on the coals. Arrange the zucchini and yellow squash slices on the hot grate and grill until nicely browned on both sides, 4 to 6 minutes per side, rotating the slices 90 degrees after 2 minutes on each side to create grillmarks. Transfer to a platter. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over the zucchini and yellow squash and garnish with lemon wedges, if using. Serve at once.
Tips:
- Choose the right squash and zucchini. Look for firm, brightly colored vegetables that are free of blemishes.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. This will help them brown and caramelize on the grill.
- Grill the vegetables over medium heat. This will help them cook through without burning.
- Flip the vegetables occasionally. This will help them cook evenly.
- Serve the vegetables immediately. They can be served as a side dish or main course.
