Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium yellow squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and dry the yellow squash thoroughly. Cut each squash into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced yellow squash, olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the squash evenly with the seasonings.
Spread the seasoned squash slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Roast the squash in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the roasted squash with Parmesan cheese.
Return the squash to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot as a delightful low-carb side dish.
