Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized zucchini
- 2 medium-sized yellow squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 2
Wash the zucchini and yellow squash, then slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Step 3
In a large bowl, toss the sliced squash with olive oil, minced garlic, fresh thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Step 4
Arrange the seasoned squash slices in the prepared baking dish, overlapping them slightly in rows or a spiral pattern for a visually appealing presentation.
Step 5
In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the squash.
Step 6
Drizzle the melted butter over the breadcrumb mixture to help it brown and crisp up during baking.
Step 7
Bake the squash in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the squash is tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 8
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
