Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons to 4 olive oil
  • 2 to 3 teaspons Za’atar seasoning*
  • 1 large sweet potato
  • 1 large zucchini squash trimmed and chopped into ¼” rounds
  • 1 large yellow squash trimmed and chopped into ¼” rounds
  • 1/3 cup pesto sauce
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbles

Instructions

  • Cook the sweet potato in boiling water for 5 to 8 minutes, or until tender when poked with a fork. Set it on a cutting board and slice it into ¼”-thick rounds when cool enough to handle.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high.
  • Brush the sliced zucchini, yellow squash, and sweet potato with olive oil and spinkle both sides with za’atar seasoning.
  • Place the sweet potato slices on the grill and cook until grill marks appear, about 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side for 3 to 5 minutes, until sweet potato slices are tender and both sides have charred grill marks. Transfer grilled sweet potato to a large serving plate.
  • Place zucchini and yellow squash slices on the grill and cook 1 to 3 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and squash has softened. Transfer to the serving plate with the sweet potato.
  • Drizzle the pesto sauce over the grilled vegetables and sprinkle with feta cheese. If desired, sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper, and a drizzle of fresh lemon juice. Serve with your favorite entree.

Notes

*You can also use Jamaican jerk seasoning, curry powder, chili powder, Italian seasoning, or Cajun seasoning.
