Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Yellow squash
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Rinse the yellow squash under running water and pat dry with a paper towel. Trim the ends and cut the squash into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, fresh rosemary, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika. Stir well to form a marinade.
Add the sliced yellow squash to the bowl, and toss until all pieces are evenly coated with the marinade.
Arrange the squash slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap for even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the squash for 20-25 minutes. Check halfway through and flip the slices to ensure even caramelization and browning.
Remove from the oven once tender and golden brown at the edges. Transfer to a serving platter.
Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the roasted squash for a bright, tangy finish.
Serve immediately as a side dish or a healthy snack.
