LEFTOVERS: Reheating Grilled Summer Squash to Perfection
- Lightly coat a frying pan on medium-high heat with olive oil.
- Get the pan hot and spread out a thin layer of the grilled summer squash and zucchini. The idea here is to sear it!
- Set a timer for a minute or two and check for doneness. You want a little bit of sear marks on the bottom of the slices before you flip them over.
- Once veggies are seared on the bottom, flip them over and continue to sear the other side.
- Once both sides are done, remove from heat and enjoy!

Notes
Arguably, most foods are better the first time around. I love leftovers more than most, but some foods just aren’t as good the next day. With grilled summer squash and zucchini, I beg to differ. If you follow my recipe, you will find it just as tasty during the week, if not more so when you reheat leftover grilled summer squash!
