    For the medium size yellow crook neck..... 

    Scoop out some of the flesh and mix with cheese, onion or whatever you want. Grill squash down.... Flip and fill.

    I usually cut them up into quarters then bite size pieces and season them with a little olive oil, salt and pepper in a bowl and just throw them in a grill basket on the egg and stir them occasionally until they are tender and done.  After they're done I just throw them back in the bowl I mixed them with.  Sometimes I'll chop some garlic in there too and add other veggies like onion, peppers, broccoli, whatever you have around or like.  It turns out pretty good.  You get a little char and nice smokey flavor on them, my wife loves veggies this way.

    You can also slice them into strips like hamburger pattie size, oil and season both sides and grill directly on the grates and flip them to get marks on both sides.  The grill basket is easier for me.

    Add some panko and this is a hit

    I just cut the squash/zucchini in wedges, spray with some cooking oil (I used to drizzle olive oil on them but the squash soaked it up and made it sort of "heavy"), sprinkle kosher salt and coarse ground black pepper on them and throw them on the grill.  Let cook about 5-10 minutes to desired doneness (I like mine to still have a little crunch), take off and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.  Everyone so far has loved it...at least that's what they tell me.

    I just use a little EVOO, salt, pepper or whatever I feel like, grill them with onions, peppers, and chicken breast.  Nice light summer meal.

    We've sliced them lengthwise  - 3/8 to 1/2 in thick strips - marinate using EV olive oil, salt, pepper and then with dried tarragon.  I take some dried tarragon in my palm and crush it pretty fine.  Only takes a small amount for the taste to come through - too much can be overpowering.  The parmesan cheese used above sounds like it may be something I'll try this weekend.

    If it's worth telling, it's worth exaggerating


  • I have been slicing them along the long axis into quarters so that each of the four pieces is a (roughly) isosceles right triangle based prism with the  curved side acting as the hypotenuse. This lets me grill on all three sides. I season with whatever olive oil I grab and s & p. Once cooked I grate Parmesan over the top. Hope this helps!

    Cheers,
