Ingredients
  

Squash Rounds

  • 2 medium Yellow Summer Squash washed, dried, and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated

  • 1/4 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • 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!
