RECIPE BY Cooking Light

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.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 pound baby pattypan squash, cut in half crosswise
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh mint leaves

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.
