Roasted Yellow Squash Recipe

Roasted Yellow Squash Recipe

Alright, but pay attention—roasted yellow squash is that simple, low-calorie side dish you were unaware you were addicted to. It's golden, tender, and expertly seasoned with thyme, garlic, and, if you're feeling particularly fancy, a dash of Parmesan. I serve this on a grain bowl or with grilled chicken. Complete victory on a weeknight!

Ingredients

• 4 medium yellow squashes, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

1. Set your oven's temperature to 400°F (200°C) to begin.
2. In a large bowl, toss sliced yellow squash with olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper until well coated.
3. Arrange the squash slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. They should be tender and have a slight golden-brown tint around the edges after 25 to 30 minutes of roasting, with one flip.
5. Sprinkle the Parmesan on in the final five minutes to allow it to melt a little.
6. Try not to eat the entire tray while standing at the counter, and serve them warm. (They really are that good.)
