Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium yellow squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and dry the yellow squash, then slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Add the sliced yellow squash to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the oil and spice mixture.
Arrange the squash slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, being careful not to overlap them.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the squash is tender and lightly browned at the edges, turning them over halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
While the squash is roasting, chop the fresh parsley.
Once cooked, remove the squash from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter.
Sprinkle the roasted squash with fresh parsley for an added burst of flavor and color.
Serve immediately as a tasty side dish or a main course, perfect for any vegan meal.
