Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (375 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit).
• Slice the zucchini and squash on the bias, about 1/2" thick. Place it in a bowl and mix it with the olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and kosher salt.
• Place the squash directly on the grill grates and grill for about 2 to 3 minutes per side (4 to 6 minutes total), until charred and tender. Taste and add a few more pinches kosher salt.

• Sprinkle the garlic, cheese's and spices on the other half.
• (Use as much or as little as you like) Place the buttered half on top of the half with the cheese and spices.
• Slice in half or if squash is real big, cut in thirds or fourths.
• Wrap each portion in aluminum foil and place on grill.
• Grill for about 10 to 15 minutes turning often.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI AND SQUASH SPEARS

Steps:

• 1. Wash zucchini and squash. Trim both ends off and discard. Cut each into 4 long spears and place in long dish or baking sheet large enough to toss the spears.
• 2. Place the oil into a small dish and the dry spices into a separate dish (except pepper). Brush oil onto the spears. Sprinkle about half of the dry ingredients onto the spears and toss to coat then add remaining spices. Freshly grind pepper on spears and give this another toss.
• 3. Remove spears from the dish used while coating with seasoning. Place the spears onto a grill at medium to medium high heat for about 5 minutes. Turn spears and let cook around 3 more minutes. The spears should have grill marks and a little soft, but still hold their shape.
