Crispy Parmesan Roasted Squash

A simple, elegant roasted squash recipe with crispy edges and a rich Parmesan flavor, perfect as a festive side dish or a healthy everyday treat.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium yellow squash or zucchini thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for crispy edges and golden Parmesan.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with olive oil. This prevents sticking and helps the squash crisp evenly.
  • Place the thinly sliced squash in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overlapping slices, or they might steam instead of roast.
  • Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the squash slices, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese. Make sure every slice gets a little coating for maximum flavor and crispiness.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, keeping an eye on the edges. You’re looking for the Parmesan to turn a golden brown and the squash edges to crisp up slightly.
  • Transfer the roasted squash to a serving platter and enjoy while warm for the best texture and flavor.
