Crispy Parmesan Roasted Squash is a simple and delicious side dish featuring thinly sliced yellow or zucchini squash baked to golden perfection with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. This easy recipe yields a crunchy, savory snack or accompaniment that’s perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Squash:

  • 2 medium squash (yellow or zucchini), thinly sliced

Seasonings and Toppings:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and lightly greasing the surface to ensure the squash slices do not stick during baking.
  2. Arrange the Squash: Lay the thinly sliced squash in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure the slices do not overlap to allow even crispiness on all sides.
  3. Season and Top: Drizzle the olive oil evenly over all the squash slices. Season them generously with salt and black pepper to taste. Finally, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly on top of the squash slices.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes. Keep a close eye on the slices as the edges should become crispy and the Parmesan cheese should turn a golden brown without burning.
  5. Serve Hot: Remove from the oven once perfectly crispy and golden. Serve immediately while warm to enjoy the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Thinly slicing the squash evenly ensures they cook and crisp uniformly.
  • Using parchment paper and a little oil helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.
  • Watch the squash closely in the final minutes of baking to avoid burning the Parmesan topping.
  • You can experiment with different types of squash or add herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.
  • This recipe works well as a healthy snack or a side dish to complement grilled or roasted meats.
