Roasted summer squash is oven-easy and super tasty! Rounds of squash are seasoned and topped with a crispy crumb topping.
I love yellow squash in this recipe but you can use zucchini, patty pans, and even crookneck squash if they’re still popping up in your supermarket.

Ingredients or Variations

BREADING The light breading mixture of Panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and some seasonings like lemon pepper, paprika, and salt is what pulls this recipe altogether!

I made the yellow summer squash. It was delicious, but I also added onions.
Truly fabulous. Great taste, easy to prepare, compliments many meals. I love this recipe!! Never changed a thing. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful, easy recipe full of flavor! Will definitely fix again and again!
Absolutely delicious and easy. had a dinner party and it was a huge success and different than a casserole or just grilled squash
Delicious! The paprika works so nicely with the crispy breading. Summer squash came out juicy and so good.
One of the best summer squash recipes we’ve eaten. Will undoubtedly make it often this summer as we have many squash in the garden.
We Love This Recipe! My new favorite. Usually prepare it in a pot with butter, onion, salt and pepper. Using the Olive Oil makes quite a difference. Also it’s not completely soft. Thank you very much. Making it a second day in a row.
Looks delish !
Can this be froze for later ?
I haven’t tried freezing this recipe but I would love to hear how it turns out.
Making these tonight with dinner.
They look delicious and we LOVE SQUASH!!!!!
Wowzer!!!! I just ate a whole summer squash alone. This is such a great recipe. Never thought I’d like this. I totally tried it because of your rating. Now I’m keeping this for the long haul. So delicious!!!
Delicious! Made this with fresh yellow squash from our garden. Next I will try with zucchini from the garden.
Making this now and looking delicious! Great recipe
Easy, and very tasty!
What temperature should the oven be in to bake?
We preheat the oven to 400°F in step one of the recipe. I hope that helps!
Really enjoyed by my husband and adult daughters.
my new go to. I grated my info parm because that’s what I had and after it was in pan I dropped a bit on each piece. cooked until a hair from burnt. so crisp so tender.
I love roasted summer squash, but the salt was a little over the top. You can’t really “Or to taste” something that isn’t completed or a recipe that you are trying for the first time. Maybe change it to a pinch or light dusting. This was way too much and definitely overpowered any flavor from the lemon pepper or paprika. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to even drink enough water to keep from drying up like a slug. I’ll definitely try this again but with a lot less salt. Remember folks less is more!
Oh, my. First attempt was fan-flipping-tastic! I will never do roast chicken any other way again! You’ve never let me down with any other recipes. :)
