Ingredients
4 medium zucchini (peel and deseed if over 2.5 inches thick)
4 medium yellow squash (choose firm varieties)
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (or avocado oil)
3 garlic cloves (minced)
2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry zucchini and yellow squash. Cut into 3/8-inch half-moons
Combine olive oil, garlic, thyme, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a bowl
Toss vegetables until fully coated
Place 1 cup of seasoned mixture on each 12×18 inch parchment sheet
Fold edges to form sealed packets with space for expansion
Preheat grill to 375°F. Place packets on grates and cook 12-15 minutes, rotating every 5 minutes
Rest 3-5 minutes then carefully open packets to allow steam to escape
Notes
Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and pre-made seasoning packets
Brush excess oil on packets before grilling for richer flavor
Rosemary can replace thyme for smokier notes
Squash harvests best in early September
Store unused packets refrigerated for up to 24 hours
