Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium fresh yellow squash, rinsed and sliced into ¼-inch thick rounds
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup bread crumbs (use gluten-free bread crumbs for a gluten-free version)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided; some for greasing and some for topping mixture)
Instructions
- Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking and help the edges brown evenly.
- Rinse and dry the squash, then cut it into even ¼-inch thick rounds.
- In a bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Drizzle in olive oil just enough to moisten the mixture.
- Arrange the yellow squash slices in a single layer in the greased baking dish. Sprinkle the cheese and breadcrumb mixture over the top.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the squash is tender.
Notes
For extra crunch, broil the dish for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
