Our Blackstone Zucchini and Yellow Squash are simple to make and you’re going to want to put this herb blend on EVERYTHING. Fire up the griddle and let’s make a simple, healthy side dish on our Blackstone!
Blackstone Zucchini and Yellow Squash
We use our griddle to cook almost everything, but sometimes for side dishes, I tend to default to steamed bagged frozen vegetables (not ideal), and I ALWAYS struggle to find good ways to eat zucchini.
Not anymore!
The crinkle cuts make the texture much more interesting and provide some great opportunities for browning on the surface of the griddle if you can be patient enough before that first flip.

How to make Blackstone Zucchini
This is just the overview so you can see what you’re actually getting into here. When you are cooking, you’ll want to use the full recipe at the bottom of the page.
1
Wash and slice
The crinkle-cut knife is one of my favorite “limited use” items that we own. Get one. Use it, and love it.
2
Preheat your griddle
Medium heat is good. Low-medium is probably better.
3
Oil and cook
Spread the oil out over the griddle and layout the zucchini and yellow squash rounds in a single layer.
4
Cook and season
Sprinkle the salt, pepper, and moss. Cook for 3 minutes
5
Flip, cover, and butter
Flip your zucchini and cook for another minute or two, then pile them up in a mound, make a hole in the center, and put your butter down. Immediately cover with a dome and cook for one minute. Enjoy!

FAQ
Do these keep well?
I don’t personally enjoy leftover vegetables all that much, but that’s just a personal preference. When you reheat it, I recommend an oven or air fryer.
Can you substitute other kinds of rubs?
Absolutely! I prefer herby rubs along with generous amounts of salt and pepper, myself, but a more traditional bbq rub would work also!

- 4 tablespoons avocado oil (or vegetable/olive oil also works)
- 2 small zucchini, sliced
- 1 small yellow squash, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Sasquatch BBQ Moss (or your favorite herby blend)

Instructions
