About Squash casterole
Squash casserole is a comforting baked dish made from summer squash, such as yellow squash or zucchini, combined with ingredients like onions, eggs, breadcrumbs, cheese, and seasonings. A staple in Southern American cuisine, this recipe often showcases garden-fresh produce and brings warm, home-cooked flavors to the table. While variations exist, some include cream or butter for richness, making it a decadent choice. Health-wise, squash is naturally low in calories and high in vitamins A and C, fiber, and antioxidants. These nutrients support immunity and digestion. However, the casserole's nutritional value can vary based on preparation—adding excess cheese or heavy cream increases fat and calorie content. Opting for whole-grain breadcrumbs or reducing cheese can make it a lighter dish. Squash casserole is a versatile, flavorful option that pairs well with many meals while spotlighting the vibrant textures and tastes of fresh vegetables.
