Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Yellow squash
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh oregano
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Wash the yellow squash and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Arrange the squash slices in the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping them in rows or circles.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped fresh oregano, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle the olive oil into the breadcrumb mixture and stir until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Evenly sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the squash slices, ensuring each piece is coated.
Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the squash is tender.
Let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh oregano if desired.
