Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs patty pan squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary (or ½ teaspoon dried)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes or a squeeze of lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and slice the squash into even wedges or rounds (1/2-inch thick).
- Pat dry with paper towels.
- Toss with olive oil, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
- Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.
- Optional: Squeeze lemon over the top just before serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, finish with a sprinkle of Parmesan or a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
- Try adding cherry tomatoes or bell peppers to roast alongside the squash.
- Best served immediately but keeps well for up to 4 days.
