Leave room on the outdoor grill for some zucchini and squash, two vegetables that make a nice accompaniment to whatever you’re cooking up.
You Will Need
- A grill
- A steel brush
- A clean cloth
- Vegetable oil
- Zucchini
- Squash
- A vegetable peeler
- A pastry brush
- A fork
- A grill basket (optional)
- Metal skewers (optional)
Step 1: Clean the grill
Clean the grill. For a charcoal grill, light some coals; with a gas grill, set it on high and close the lid. After about 20 minutes, let the grill cool. Then scrape off the burnt-on bits with a steel brush, and end by wiping down the grill with a clean cloth soaked in vegetable oil.
Step 2: Heat the grill
Heat a gas or electric grill to medium. If it’s a charcoal grill, wait until the coals are ash-colored.
Step 3: Prep the veggies
Rinse the zucchini and squash, peel them, cut them in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds. Brush generously on both sides with vegetable oil and salt to taste.
Another option is to cut the vegetables into chunks and put them in a grill basket or stick them on metal skewers for kebabs.
Step 4: Grill them
Grill the halves or chunks for two to three minutes per side, turning once. Test for doneness by piercing with a fork; if the tines go in easily, you’re good to go.
In England and France, a zucchini is called a courgette.

We love squash, and because it provides so much, we share with neighbors. This is an excellent way to use it. We also saute it with onions in a bit of butter. Anyway to use it is great, as it is a delicious vegetable right out of the garden.
