These Crispy Baked Cheesy Squash Rounds are a delightful and flavorful way to enjoy summer squash. With a golden brown, crispy cheese topping, they make a perfect side dish or low-carb snack.


Ingredients

Scale

Yellow Squash:

  • 2 medium yellow squash (sliced into 1/4-inch rounds)

Cheese Mixture:

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (regular or panko)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Additional:

  • olive oil spray or drizzle

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare Squash: Lightly spray or brush both sides of the squash rounds with olive oil and arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  3. Make Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, combine Parmesan, mozzarella, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  4. Add Cheese Topping: Spoon or sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over each squash round, pressing it down gently to adhere.
  5. Bake: Bake for 20–22 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on top.
  6. Serve: Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Great as a side dish or low-carb snack.
  • For extra crispiness, broil the rounds for the last 1–2 minutes.
  • Zucchini can be used in place of yellow squash.
