Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • Squash: 2 medium-sized zucchini or yellow squash
  • Salt: ½ teaspoon to taste
  • Pepper: ¼ teaspoon to taste
  • Parmesan Cheese: ½ cup grated
  • Olive Oil: 1 tablespoon

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will ensure your squash roasts nicely and develops that golden color.
  2. Prepare the Squash: Wash your squash thoroughly. Cut them into thin slices—about ¼ inch thick. This will help the squash cook evenly and quickly.
  3. Season the Squash: In a large bowl, combine the squash slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss them to make sure each slice is well-coated.
  4. Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the squash. Toss gently again to evenly distribute the cheese.
  5. Roast: Arrange the seasoned squash in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they are spread out; this will help them roast instead of steam.
  6. Cooking Time: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 15 minutes or until the squash is tender and lightly browned.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Roasted Parmesan Squash as a side dish with your favorite entrée!
