Roasted Summer Squash

Recipe for Roasted or Grilled Summer Squash

Inspired by Baked Zucchini Fries at A Healthy Life for Me

Ingredients:

• 1 bag of baby summer squash from Costco or 2 lbs of regular summer squash or zucchini
• 2 bunches of scallions
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 Tbsp dried oregano or thyme

Method:

• Preheat the oven to 375F
• Wash thoroughly and dry the squash on a kitchen towel. Then halve each summer squash and throw into a bowl. (If using regular squash cut into 2 inch pieces)
• Wash and cut both the white and green parts of the scallion in to long 2 inch pieces and set aside
• Whisk together the olive oil, salt, pepper, and dried thyme or oregano (I used thyme, but feel free to use oregano)
• Toss the summer squash with the olive oil mixture
• Place the squash on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and bake for 20 mins
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle on the scallions and bake again for another 10 mins
• Serve immediately

Note: You can alternately use the same recipe on your grill if you are doing an outdoor summer cookout. Just loosely wrap everything in aluminum foil and throw it on the grill for 30 mins.
