Description

Golden squash and zucchini slices roast until tender-crisp, their natural sweetness mingling with roasted garlic and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for an aromatic, savory crunch in every bite.


Ingredients

  • 2 medium yellow squash
  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and trim the ends off the yellow squash and zucchini, then slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  3. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
  4. In a large bowl, toss the squash, zucchini, and garlic with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  5. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the edges are golden and tender.
  7. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, grate Parmesan cheese over the vegetables during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • You can substitute fresh thyme or rosemary for parsley.
  • Serve as a side dish with grilled meats or over pasta.
