Ingredients

2 medium zucchini sliced lengthwise about a 1/2 inch thick
2 medium yellow summer squash sliced lengthwise about a 1/2 inch thick
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1 clove garlic minced
kosher salt
black pepper
chopped parsley
2 tablespoons grated parmesan

Instructions

In a large rectangular or oblong baking dish or container, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard, garlic, ¼ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper until well combined and emulsified.
Add the zucchini and squash to the marinade and toss to coat completely. Cover and transfer to the refrigerator to marinate for 15-30 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium. Remove the vegetables from the marinade (keep the marinade for basting) and sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper.
Grill for about 5 minutes on the first side, flip and grill another 5-7 minutes, basting once with reserved marinade, until crisp tender with nice grill marks.
Garnish with parsley and grated Parmesan

Notes

Storage Instructions

These are definitely best served warmed right off the grill but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and they will be good for up to 3 days.
