Provided by Samantha Skaggs

Categories     Side Dish

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 medium-sized yellow summer squash
Garlic salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the center position of the oven. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil (lightly misted with nonstick cooking spray) OR parchment paper.
  • Wash and dry the squash, and then cut each one into 1/4-inch thick slices. Arrange the squash rounds on the prepared pan, with little to no space between them. Lightly sprinkle the squash with garlic salt and freshly ground black pepper. Use a small spoon to spread a thin layer of Parmesan cheese on each slice of squash.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the Parmesan melts and turns a light golden brown. (Watch these closely the first time you make them and pull them out of the oven early if the Parmesan is golden before 15 minutes. Alternatively, you may broil them for a minute or two at the end of the cooking time to speed up the browning.) Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for small to medium-sized yellow squash that are firm and have smooth skin. Avoid squash that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Slice the squash evenly: Cut the squash into 1/4-inch thick slices. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality Parmesan cheese: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese will give the squash the best flavor. Avoid pre-shredded cheese, as it often contains additives that can alter the taste.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When baking the squash, make sure to leave enough space between the slices so that they can cook evenly. Overcrowding the pan will prevent the squash from getting crispy.
  • Watch the cooking time: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the squash slices. Start checking the squash after 10 minutes of baking. They are done when they are fork-tender and slightly browned.

Conclusion:

Baked Parmesan yellow squash is a simple and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a healthy meal. It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. This dish is also a good way to get your daily dose of vegetables. Serve it as a side dish with chicken, fish, or steak. It can also be added to salads, pasta dishes, or omelets.
