Roasted Summer Squash Recipe: Crispy, Golden, and So Easy

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated mozzarella

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Cut the top and end of the summer squash.

If the squash is large, cut it in half for easier slicing.

Slice the summer squash into half moons, about less than half an inch thick.

If needed, cut larger half moons into smaller pieces to ensure even cooking.

Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

Place the summer squash on the parchment paper.

Drizzle olive oil over the squash.

Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.

Toss the squash to coat evenly with the seasonings.

Place the pan in the oven on the top rack and roast for about 30 minutes.

After 15 minutes, toss the squash with a spatula or kitchen tongs to ensure even cooking.

Continue roasting for another 15 minutes until tender.
