Description
Thinly Sliced Parmesan Squash is a simple yet flavorful side dish that combines the natural sweetness of squash with the richness of melted Parmesan cheese. It’s easy to prepare and perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
2 medium yellow squash, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with nonstick spray.
- Arrange the sliced squash rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the squash slices and toss to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the squash.
- Top each slice with a small amount of grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the Parmesan is golden brown.
- Serve immediately as a side dish.
Notes
For extra flavor, sprinkle fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or basil over the squash before baking.
If you prefer a crispier texture, broil the squash for the last 2 minutes of baking.
Experiment with other cheeses like mozzarella, asiago, or cheddar for a different flavor profile.
