This easy recipe for Roasted Zucchini and Squash uses fresh summer squash that’s tossed with oil and Italian seasonings and gets roasted up in the oven until tender. It makes a perfect healthy side dish that is ready in 20 minutes!
Over the years, zucchini has become a wonder vegetable. I’ve seen it used in so many different ways like pasta or zucchini boats, but I promise you, roasting up zucchini and squash still tastes amazing!
If you have an abundance of zucchini and yellow squash in the summer months, this simple oven-roasted method is perfect for you. All you’ll need to do is chop up the squash, toss it with oil and seasonings, then roast it in the oven until fork-tender for a veggie side dish that is healthy, and low in calories and carbs, and can be seasoned any way you like.
Zucchini and yellow squash are in abundance come summer time. Whether you have a home garden, frequent your local farmer’s market, or shop the sales at your local grocery store, you’re bound to see a lot of squash this time of year.
This recipe is a great way to use up excess summer squash, and bonus – it’s super flavorful! Zucchini and yellow squash are lightly seasoned with Italian seasoning and garlic powder, then parmesan cheese is sprinkled on top.
I highly suggest using freshly grated parmesan cheese for this recipe. The reason is because pre-grated parmesan cheeses often contain anti-clumping powders and do not melt well.
If you do not have freshly grated parmesan cheese on hand, mozzarella cheese, Italian blend shredded cheese, or cheddar cheese will work. However, parmesan cheese creates a crispy, cheesy coating on the roasted squash and I highly recommend trying it!
The cooking time may vary for your zucchini and squash. I used small zucchini and squash for my recipe. If your squash is particularly large or thick cut, it will likely need a few more minutes to bake.
Try piercing your squash through the center with a fork to test for doneness. You want them to be cooked through, but not mushy. As always with cooking, use your instincts. If the squash looks done, take it out of the oven.
Ingredients, oven temperatures, and home humidity may vary person to person, so it’s best to use your eyes and common sense when cooking.
One of my family’s least favorite things is veggies. My kids could eat a bowl of fruit at every meal but veggies are a different story.
