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

SQUASH Naturally, summer squash is the star here (zucchini or pattypan work great in this recipe too).

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!

OTHER VEGGIES Why not switch up the recipe and add some of your other favorite veggies. Ensure you use ones that have a similar cook time, we love asparagus spears and bell peppers?

How to Roast Summer Squash

This yummy roasted squash is super easy. Just watch homegrown veggies get eaten with gusto!

  1. Slice squash and toss with olive oil.
  2. Combine other ingredients (per recipe below) and toss with the squash.
  3. Lay on a prepared baking pan. Bake until tender.
  4. Broil a minute or two to get the coating crispy and golden brown.

For squash that is tender-crisp, cut it a little thicker. For softer squash, cut it a bit thinner.
