They might be small, but American Pecans™ are mighty — and have a lot to boast about. The pecan is a complex whole food, packed with multiple health-promoting nutrients and bioactive compounds. Each delicious pecan is a nutrition powerhouse. This simple grilled veggie recipe is perfect for Father's Day and celebrating the whole month of June as National Mens Health Month.

Ingredients
2 zucchini, sliced thin
2 yellow squash, sliced thin
1 acorn squash, sliced 
¼ cup olive oil
Cherry tomatoes, optional
⅓ cup crumbled blue cheese
½ Sunnyland Farms Mammoth Pecan halves
1 tablespoon honey, optional
Salt and pepper to taste

Method
For the best flavor ever, set the Big Green Egg for indirect cooking with a convEGGtor at 375°F/190°C.  If using another type of grill, heat to medium. Combine vegetables in a large bowl. Add olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper; toss well. Place vegetables on cast iron cooking grid.  Grill 5 minutes on each side or until lightly charred and tender.

Toasted Pecans
Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pecans and stir until they are coated. Shake the pan to get them to spread out in a single layer. Toast the pecans over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring often, until they are fragrant and toasted.

Plate vegetables, sprinkle with toasted pecans and crumbled blue cheese. Drizzle with honey. Serve immediately.
