Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized zucchini
- 2 medium-sized yellow squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Wash the zucchini and yellow squash, then slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a large bowl, toss the sliced squash with olive oil, minced garlic, fresh thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Arrange the seasoned squash slices in the prepared baking dish, overlapping them slightly in rows or a spiral pattern for a visually appealing presentation.
In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the squash.
Drizzle the melted butter over the breadcrumb mixture to help it brown and crisp up during baking.
Bake the squash in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the squash is tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
