A quick and easy summer side dish featuring tender yellow squash grilled to crispy perfection with a golden Parmesan crust and fresh herbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium yellow squash, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds or lengthwise strips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F). Clean the grates with a grill brush to prevent sticking.
  2. Wash and dry the yellow squash. Slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds or lengthwise strips and place in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the squash and sprinkle garlic powder, black pepper, and sea salt to taste. Toss gently to coat evenly and let sit for 5 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle grated Parmesan and chopped fresh thyme and basil over the squash. Toss lightly to distribute cheese and herbs without breaking the slices.
  5. Place squash slices directly on the grill grates with space between each slice. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, flipping carefully, until cheese edges are golden and crispy and squash is tender.
  6. Transfer grilled squash to a serving platter. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and extra fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

If cheese burns before squash is tender, move slices to a cooler part of the grill or lower heat. Use fresh Parmesan for best crispy crust. Olive oil should be applied with a brush to avoid soggy spots. Can be cooked on grill pan or cast iron skillet if no grill is available. Leftovers keep up to 2 days refrigerated; reheat gently to maintain crispiness.
