Prepare the Vegetables
Wash and slice the yellow squash and zucchini into half-moons. Dice the tomatoes and chop the onion.

Grill the Vegetables
Heat olive oil on a grill pan over medium heat. Add the yellow squash, zucchini, onion, and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Grill for about 5-7 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally.
3
Add Tomatoes
Once the squash and zucchini are tender, add the diced tomatoes to the pan and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes are slightly softened.

Finish and Serve
Remove from heat, stir in chopped cilantro, and serve warm as a side dish or main course.
