This is a brightly colored, simply prepared summer squash recipe that can be prepared in a matter of minutes, so there is no prolonged sweating over a hot stove! It tastes delicious hot, warm or at room temperature, so you can make it ahead of time without sacrificing any of its quality. This recipe can be expanded into more of a light vegetarian main dish if served over brown rice or barley (or a combination), and topped with the optional pine nuts and cheese. I cut this out of a recent newspaper article.

Tips:
- Choose the right squash: Smaller squash, such as zucchini and yellow squash, are best for grilling. They should be firm and free of blemishes.
- Slice the squash evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the slices are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may burn on the outside before they are cooked through. Aim for slices that are about 1/2-inch thick.
- Marinate the squash: Marinating the squash in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to flavor them and prevent them from drying out. You can use a simple marinade, such as olive oil, salt, and pepper, or you can get more creative with your flavors. Some popular marinade ingredients include garlic, ginger, lemongrass, and chili peppers.
- Grill the squash over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning. Cook the squash for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
- Serve the squash immediately: Grilled squash is best served hot off the grill. You can enjoy it as a side dish, or you can add it to salads, wraps, or pasta dishes.
Conclusion:
Grilled Thai-marinated summer squash is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this summer vegetable. The marinade gives the squash a flavorful and slightly spicy kick, while the grilling process caramelizes the natural sugars in the squash, creating a slightly smoky flavor. This dish is perfect for a summer cookout or picnic, and it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
