• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place yellow squash and zucchini on a square of aluminum foil; sprinkle with lemon zest, lemon juice, and butter. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Wrap the aluminum foil over the vegetables.

• Slice both of the squash diagonally into 1/4" thick slices.
• Spoon 3 tablespoons of the marinade into a small bowl, cover and set aside.
• Add all the squash to the remaining marinade in the large bowl and toss to coat.
• Transfer the mixture to a 13x9 glass baking dish, cover and marinate at room temperature for at least 3 hours.
• Can also be refrigerated for up to one day to marinate.
• Season squash with a little additional salt and pepper and grill on the barbecue or on an indoor grill pan until they are crisp tender and brown, turning occasionally for about 8 minutes.
• Transfer squash to a serving platter and drizzle with the reserved 3 tablespoons of marinade.
• Serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil. Preheat grill to high heat.
• Toss zucchini and squash in 1 ounce achiote oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Drop broccolini in boiling water for 2 minutes or until slightly wilted while preserving color.
• Place seasoned zucchini and squash on hot grill. Cook for 2 minutes on each side. Set aside.
• Heat a saute pan over low heat. Add pine nuts and toast lightly. Set aside. Add remaining 2 ounces achiote oil to the heated saute pan. Add the blanched broccolini and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Increase to medium-high heat. Add sliced garlic and continue to cook until slightly toasted, about 1 minute. Add grilled zucchini, summer squash and halved cherry tomatoes. Add butter and toss lightly until butter melts. Plate and drizzle with aged balsamic vinegar, garnishing with toasted pine nuts.

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium. In a large bowl, gently toss zucchini, squash, oil, vinegar, and oregano; season with salt and pepper. Working in batches if necessary, lift vegetables from marinade, and grill, covered, turning once, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Reserve marinade. (To store, refrigerate vegetables and remaining marinade separately, up to 1 day.) Drizzle grilled vegetables with remaining marinade, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium-high heat.

Steps:

• Preheat the grill w/all burners on high for 10 minutes (lid down).
• Wash the squash, pat down dry. Trim the tops and bottoms, then rub olive oil over them.
• Once the gill is hot, turn off the center burner, turn the other burners to medium. Put the whole squash over the center burner, close the lid and cook until easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife/fork. Depending on the size of the squash, this will take approximately 12-20 minutes.
• Turn the squash as needed.
• Transfer the squash to a cutting board, slice, then toss with the parsley, salt and pepper.
• Enjoy!
