SUMMER SQUASH DRESSING



Summer Squash Dressing image

I serve with recipe#435267, roasted asparagus, coleslaw, and recipe#462312. Have made ahead and also have frozen prior to baking. I prefer baking in shallow layer so it is less soggy. I plan ahead by making 9 inch pan of cornbread day before and then using the leftovers for this. Melt butter in container big enough to hold other ingredients. I have subbed in zucchini also for this.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest summer squash possible. Look for squash that is firm and has a deep green color.
  • Use a mandoline or sharp knife to thinly slice the squash. This will help it cook evenly.
  • If you don't have a mandoline or sharp knife, you can also use a vegetable peeler to create thin ribbons of squash.
  • Toss the squash with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This will help it caramelize and brown.
  • Roast the squash at a high temperature (425 degrees Fahrenheit) for a short amount of time (10-15 minutes). This will help it retain its crunch.
  • Serve the squash immediately with your favorite toppings, such as Parmesan cheese, crumbled bacon, or chopped nuts.

Conclusion:

Shaved raw summer squash is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed all summer long. With its bright flavor and crunchy texture, it's a great way to add some freshness to your meals. Whether you serve it as a salad, a side dish, or even a pizza topping, this versatile dish is sure to be a hit.
