🧀 Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Medium yellow squash | 2 |
| Grated Parmesan cheese | ½ cup |
| Garlic salt | To taste |
| Black pepper | To taste |
👨‍🍳 How to Make It
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prep the Squash
Rinse and dry the squash. Cut off the ends, then slice into ÂĽ-inch thick rounds for even cooking.
Step 3: Season the Rounds
Lay the squash slices flat on your prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle each with garlic salt and black pepper, adjusting to your preferred level of seasoning.
Step 4: Top with Cheese
Generously sprinkle grated Parmesan on top of each squash round. The cheese will bake into a deliciously crisp, golden topping.
Step 5: Bake Until Golden
Place the tray in the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the Parmesan is bubbly and browned. For extra crispiness, broil for an additional 1–2 minutes at the end—just keep an eye on it!
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Let cool slightly, then serve warm as a side dish or snack. These cheesy bites pair well with grilled meats, pasta, or salads.
