Ingredients

1 pound zucchini and/or yellow summer squash (about 2 medium)
1 ½ teaspoons olive oil
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon ground pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Cover a large baking sheet (see Tip) with foil; lightly coat with cooking spray. Set aside. Halve squash lengthwise. Cut the squash into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
Toss the squash slices with oil, kosher salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Arrange the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 10 to 15 minutes or until the slices are tender and golden.

Tips

Tip: Use a baking sheet without sides. This allows better air circulation around the squash and promotes more even roasting and browning.

Variation: Flavor Burst Option: Just before serving, toss the roasted squash with 1/4 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
