Parmesan Crusted Summer Squash
Ingredients
  • 2 yellow squash (summer squash) , cut into 1/4 inch pieces (I actually use my mandolin and make super thin slices)
  • 1 tablespoon light virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese , finely grated
  • 3 tablespoons bread crumbs
Steps
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Toss yellow squash with light extra virgin olive oil in a medium mixing bowl.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine fine sea salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs.
  • Arrange yellow squash in a single layer or layer if using a mandolin on prepared baking sheet. Spoon bread crumb mixture evenly over each squash round or the layers of thin layers pressing down lightly on each one.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, or until squash is soft, but not mushy.
  • Serve immediately. Use a large flat spatula to pick up a serving size and put on plate with your entrĂ©e.
