Baked yellow squash is beautifully crispy. You don’t have to turn the pieces, but do keep an eye on them. — Debi Mitchell, Flower Mound, Texas

Ingredients

  • 4 cups thinly sliced yellow summer squash (3 medium)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°. Place squash in a large bowl. Add oil and seasonings; toss to coat.
  2. In a shallow bowl, mix bread crumbs and cheese. Dip squash in crumb mixture to coat both sides, patting to help coating adhere. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown, rotating pans halfway through baking.
