Preparation
- 1. Preheat grill to medium-high (400-450°F). Combine olive oil and garlic in a small bowl. Brush zucchini and squash with the oil mixture; sprinkle with pepper and salt.
2. Oil the grill grates by partially soaking a few paper towels in canola oil and using tongs to quickly wipe the grates. Place the vegetables on the oiled grates; grill, covered, until the zucchini and squash are tender and grill marks appear, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
3. Transfer the vegetables to a serving platter. Sprinkle with parsley and drizzle with lemon juice.
