🧰 Equipment You’ll Need:

Ingredients:

• 1–2 medium squash (zucchini, yellow squash, or a mix)

• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, but so good!)

Instructions:

1.  Prep the Squash: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and trim the ends of the squash. Slice into rounds or half-moons, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
2.  Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place squash slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3.  Season: Drizzle generously with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and Parmesan (if using).
4.  Roast: Bake for 15–20 minutes until edges are golden and squash is tender. Thinner slices will cook faster, so keep an eye on them.
5.  Serve: Serve hot and enjoy the caramelized, savory goodness!

Extra Tips & Variations:

• Add a sprinkle of garlic powder or Italian herbs before roasting for extra flavor.
• Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top before serving for brightness.
