Herb-flavored smoke is a great way to add flavor to grilled foods. Choose thick herb sprigs and soak them in water so you get the most smoke production when they are placed on hot coals. If using a gas grill, follow the manufacturer’s directions for smoking. Look for squash that are on the small side (about 6 inches for zucchini and yellow summer squash). Cutting the squash in half lengthwise through the stem allows them to absorb the most smoke flavor. We’ve put together a popular list of other plant-based barbecue recipes for you to try this summer.

3 to 6 sprigs fresh sage or rosemary
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage or rosemary

Submerge herb sprigs in water 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine vinegar, chopped herb, salt, and pepper. Add squash and mushrooms; toss to coat.
