Broiled Summer Squash In Agrodolce With Corn And Avocado Recipe

1. 1

   Preheat broiler and set top oven rack 4 to 6 inches from broiler element.

2. 2

   Trim squash ends, then cut each squash in half lengthwise. Cross cut the squash halves into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Season squash with salt, then place cut side up in a 9-inch cast iron pan. Let stand for 10 minutes.

3. 3

   Broil squash until slightly shriveled and browned in spots, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Add corn and olive oil and toss everything together until well coated. Broil until the squash and corn are speckled with browned spots, about 4 minutes longer.

5. 5

   Remove from the broiler and sprinkle sugar on top. Toss to coat. Add the vinegar and chili flakes. Stir until well mixed, then broil until the liquid in the pan is reduced by at least half and is syrupy, about 5 minutes.

6. 6

   Remove from the broiler, add avocado, and toss well. Serve warm or at room temperature, sprinkling flaky salt on top, if desired.
