Grilling underscores the earthiness of the cumin and coriander, and enhances the nuttiness of this summer squash. Use white, orange, or yellow pattypan squash for the most colorful skewers.

Can I please ask if you need to peel the pattypan squash or whether you leave skin on?

I bought some baby squash at the farmers’ market and wanted something more interesting than a saute. They were outstanding. The spicing is subtle but definitely there. I made twice in 2 weeks. My new go-to recipe for grilled squash.

I made this recipe for a party (doubled it) and it was great. I used a variety of kinds of squash and just cut them into bite-sized chunks. The marinade is very flavorful and the red onions turned out particularly luscious!

I roasted the squash in the oven instead of grilling. The seasoning is mild & fragrant -- very nice. I omitted the onions and added some grape tomatoes & fresh cilantro instead of mint. Would make again.
