- 3 or 4 small to medium yellow crookneck squash
- 1 medium yellow or sweet onion
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves (fresh or dried)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat a gas grill over medium heat.
- Place your grilling pan on the grates to preheat with the grill. If you don’t have a grill pan, you can place aluminum foil on the grates and use a knife to cut small slits in it to vent.
- Slice the squash into ¼-inch thick rounds. Thinly slice the onion.
- Toss all ingredients in a large bowl to coat the squash and onions.
- Dump the squash mixture onto the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer. Close the grill lid and cook for 4 minutes.
- Stir the squash and spread it back evenly on the pan. Close the lid and cook for 4 more minutes.
- Continue stirring and cooking in 2-minute increments until the squash and onions form a light char. It should take less than 15 minutes.
Notes
If you’re using a charcoal grill, wait for the coals to get ready before you place the pan on the grill to preheat.
