This scrumptious summer squash recipe gives the backyard grill staple a glow-up with a crunchy coating of seasoned bread crumbs. Simply slice your squash into medallions, sear on the grill until tender and lightly charred, then gently toss in the herby crumb mixture before gobbling them up. The natural moisture released as they grill ensures the tasty coating stays put, so there’s no need to dip them in a batter beforehand. If you want to kick up the heat, feel free to add a sprinkling of red pepper flakes to the breadcrumbs for a fiery twist. Serve these crispy coins alongside veggies burgers, carrot dogs, or any other plant-based masterpiece you whip up for a summertime BBQ.
