Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium yellow squash
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and dry the yellow squash. Slice each squash into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced squash with olive oil, garlic powder, dried thyme, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the squash slices are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Spread the seasoned squash slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap for even roasting.
Roast the squash in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the squash is tender and just beginning to caramelize around the edges.
Once roasted, remove the squash from the oven and transfer it to a serving platter.
Garnish the roasted squash with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add a pop of color and freshness.
Serve warm as a delightful Paleo-friendly side dish.
