Grilled and Marinated Zucchini and Yellow Squash Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise
• 2 medium yellow squash, halved lengthwise
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper, divided
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
• 1 pinch red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil

Instructions

1. Heat grill to high.
2. Brush zucchini and yellow squash with 1 tablespoon oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Grill cut side down until light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and continue grilling until just thoroughly cooked, 4 to 5 minutes longer. Remove from grill and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices.
3. Whisk together remaining 1/4 cup oil, lemon juice, lemon rind, red pepper flakes and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Add zucchini, yellow squash and basil; toss to coat. Cover and let sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours before serving.
