How to Make Yellow Squash in a Ninja Foodi

My family loves grill Yellow Squash. So naturally, I have been trying to create an excellent way to make it in my traditional Ninja Foodi grill. I have experimented with making them many ways, but this is my favorite way without all the mess, fuss and hassle.

Step 1. Put in the Grill Grate and shut the lid. Choose GRILL, set the temperature to MAX, and set the time to 15 minutes. Choose START/STOP to start the preheating process.

Step 2. In the meantime, use a small bowl, mix ½ cup oil, vinegar, and garlic using a whisk, then set aside.

Step 3. Use a large bowl, mix the squash and onion with the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil until equally covered. Then Season to taste with salt and ground pepper.

Step 4. After the Nina Foodi beeps to signify the unit has preheated, lay the yellow squash and onions on the Grill Grate. Shut the lid and cook for 6 minutes.

Step 5. Cooking for 6 minutes, open the lid and turn the yellow squash. Shut the lid and cook for 6 to 9 additional minutes.

Step 6. When both yellow squash and red onions are cooked to your wanted doneness, Take them off the grill. Arrange them on a big platter and add feta cheese on top. Then drizzle some of the tops with dressing, and top them with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. Wait, let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
