I have been in a side dish rut lately. I feel like I always make the same side dishes and I have been wanting to try some different veggie side dishes aside from my typical steamed broccoli, asparagus, and salads. I saw a big display of zucchini and squash last weekend at my grocery store and decided to try to come up with a simple and yummy recipe for them! This recipe is super easy to make and the Parmesan cheese gives the zucchini and squash a nice crisp!

Baked Zucchini and Squash

Ingredients:

Serves 4

– 2 medium zucchini and 2 medium squash, sliced into 1/2 inch slices
– 1 1/2 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
– 2 Tbs. grated Parmesan cheese
– salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a bowl, combine zucchini, squash, cheese, olive oil and salt and pepper. Spread onto greased baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown*. Flip halfway through so that the veggies can brown on both sides.

*Notes: The Parmesan cheese can burn if you don’t keep an eye on the veggies, so be careful!
