Wash and trim the ends of the yellow squash and zucchini. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Halve the cherry tomatoes. Peel and mince the garlic. Dice the yellow onion into small pieces.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Add the sliced squash and zucchini to the skillet. Sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the veggies with the spices.
Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the squash and zucchini are tender but not mushy.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2-3 more minutes, just until the tomatoes begin to soften and release their juices.
Remove the skillet from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed with additional Old Bay, salt, or pepper.
Transfer the squash and tomatoes to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
