Here’s a great rule of thumb for cooking with summer squash and zucchini: bigger isn’t always better. Choose medium or smaller vegetables, which will have better flavor their than larger counterparts. The vegetables get a dose of flavor from the 30-minute balsamic and herb-enhanced marinade. You can incorporate any dried herbs that you like into the marinade. If you don’t have a grill basket, this recipe will give you the perfect excuse to purchase one. It’s a good tool to have in your cooking arsenal since it can be used for grilling delicate fish and also fruit for a sweet side dish or dessert.
