Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 teaspoon butter
-
1 small onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced
-
4 cups peeled and cubed yellow squash
-
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir onion and garlic in the hot oil-butter mixture until softened, about 3 minutes.
