Servings 4 servings

2 medium Yellow Summer Squash washed, dried, and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Salt adjust to taste
1/4 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
as needed Nonstick Cooking Spray or Olive Oil Spray for greasing the baking sheet or parchment

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and lightly spray with nonstick spray.
Slice the squash into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Try to keep the slices uniform for even baking.
Lay the squash slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overlap them.
Sprinkle garlic salt and black pepper evenly over the squash slices.
Top each round with a small pinch of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, just enough to cover each slice lightly.
Bake in the center rack of the oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the Parmesan is melted and lightly golden. For extra crispiness, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.
Remove from oven and serve hot. These are best enjoyed fresh!
