2 medium sized summer squash, cut in half
2 Tbsp French onion vinegar
3 Tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

For the squash:

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Heat a large bottomed pan and place the olive oil followed by the squash, seasoned with salt and pepper, flesh side down to sear. Once caramelized, turn off the heat and deglaze with 2 tablespoons of the French Onion Vinegar, before placing onto a sheet tray, reserving the vinegar from the pan.
