Grilled Summer Squash and Zucchini

Baby summer squash and zucchini make great grilled vegetables that are easy and quick to prepare. Select 1 or 2 vegetables for each serving. Trim ends off and cut lengthwise into 6 or 8 long wedges. Brush with olive oil and season with garlic salt and pepper. Add sesame seeds for interesting texture and flavor. Grill on low or indirect heat for a few minutes on each side, until vegetables are slightly soft. If all goes well, you will have nice grill marks on at least two sides. Feel free to experiment with other flavored oils and vegetables like egg plant or asparagus.

This is also delicious if you top them with your favorite grated cheese near the end of the process. I love both parmesan and cheddar jack.
