- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the yellow squash thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a clean towel.
Trim the ends of the squash and cut them into 1/4-inch thick round slices.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced yellow squash with olive oil, garlic powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Toss the squash slices well to ensure they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned squash slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping midway through, until the squash slices are golden brown and tender.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the squash cool slightly before serving.
Serve the roasted yellow squash warm as a side dish or add it to your favorite salad or grain bowl.
