Description
Zucchini and Squash Bake is the best summer side dish! This delicious casserole features summer squash that's topped with a crispy and flavorful panko breadcrumb mixture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1-2 medium zucchini, (sliced 1/4" thick)
- 1-2 medium yellow squash (sliced 1/4" thick)
- olive oil, to drizzle
- 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper, to taste
- lemon wedges, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly spray a medium casserole dish or baking sheet with olive oil.
- Arrange the zucchini and yellow squash so they are slightly overlapping. Drizzle the tops with olive oil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the panko, parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Sprinkle over the top of the zucchini and yellow squash. Lightly spray with olive oil.
- Bake covered for 10 minutes. Remove the cover, then bake uncovered for 10-15 more minutes, until desired tenderness. If you want to make the topping extra golden, place under the broiler (be sure to use a broiler safe baking dish) for 1-2 more minutes. Keep an eye on it, as it will turn golden fast!
- Serve with lemon wedges (optional) and enjoy!
Notes
If you want even more crunch, double the bread crumb mixture.
