  • spices
  • onions diced

STEP 1: Slice and Grill the Zucchini and Squash

take your giant zucchini and squash, cut in half, scoop out the seeds, and brush with vegetable or olive oil. cut along the side that sits flat.

This is a great idea! I have friends who grow so much zucchini every year that they end up having to leave it outside their neighbors's doors, ring the doorbell, and run away to get rid of it all, haha.
