It won’t be many more months before summer’s bounty starts appearing at local farmers markets. And thank goodness because I’m tired of cooking kale, swiss chard, and winter squash. I’m ready for some summer squash!
Grilling vegetables is perhaps my favorite way to cook vegetables. I like roasting them too and roasting veggies creates pretty much the same effect as grilling. But there’s just something about cooking outside over an open flame that can’t be beat. Grilling brings out the sweetness of vegetables and vegetables really pick up the smokiness of the grill.
Zucchini and yellow squash are my two favorite veggies to grill. They are super low-calorie and wonderful accompaniments to chicken, fish, beef, pasta….. you name it. They’re so delicious, you may even want to eat them solo.

I love grilled vegetables, too! They especially go great with grilled steak or fish.
