Notes
Grilled Zucchini Slices
Trim off the stems and slice each squash horizontally, into 1/2 inch thick circles. You can still place the slices on the grill, but turn carefully so they don't fall through the grate. Alternatively, use a grill basket placed on the grill or a grill pan on your stove.
Oven roasting method
Preheat oven to 425ºF. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Lay the zucchini or squash in a single layer on a sheet pan, with space between each spear so the heat can circulate around the veggies.
Roast for about 15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove from oven, squeeze on lemon juice and sprinkle with fresh parmesan.
