Easy Baked Parmesan Squash

3. Season the Squash
Lay the squash slices out on a baking sheet in a single layer. For easy cleanup and to prevent sticking, line the baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Lightly sprinkle salt and black pepper over the squash slices. The amount of seasoning can be adjusted to your taste, but be cautious with the salt since the Parmesan cheese adds its own salty flavor.

Evenly sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the squash slices. The cheese will melt and create a delicious, crispy topping that perfectly complements the tender squash.
4. Bake to Perfection
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the cheese is golden and crispy. Keep a close eye on them to prevent overcooking, as this can cause the squash to become too soft and the cheese to burn.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Once baked, remove the squash from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. This allows the cheese to firm up, making the slices easier to handle.

Transfer the squash slices to a serving plate and enjoy them while they’re warm. They’re perfect on their own as a healthy snack or as a side dish to complement your meal.
