Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium yellow squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 small lemon, zested
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Rinse the yellow squash under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
Slice the squash into 1/4-inch thick rounds and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the squash slices and toss to coat evenly.
Add the chopped fresh rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss the squash again to ensure the seasonings are distributed evenly.
Transfer the seasoned squash slices to the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the squash for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and lightly golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the squash cool slightly before transferring to a serving platter.
Sprinkle the roasted squash with lemon zest and chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish alongside your favorite main course.
