Baked Not Fried Squash Recipes

CRISPY OVEN BAKED SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
• Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
• Thinly slice the squash and place in a bowl of water.
• Combine the cornmeal, breadcrumbs, parmesan and spices in a bowl and mix well.
• Dip each squash slice in the breading and turn so they are evenly coated.
• Place in a single layer on a baking sheet.
• Bake 15 minutes and check, if the squash is beginning to brown slightly and begin to crisp turn the squash and bake 10-15 minutes more until crispy. If after 15 minutes if the squash is NOT beginning to brown and crisp bake another 5-7 minutes and check again.
• Remove from the oven when both sides of the squash is crispy and the moisture has evaporated. Note: the thickness of your squash slices will determine cooking time, that is why the cooking time can vary for this recipe.

BAKED, NOT FRIED SQUASH

Steps:

• 1. Spray baking sheet with Butter flavored spray, Pam or store brand. Preheat oven to 400.
• 2. Slice squash or zucchini. Roll in flour/cornmeal mixture. ( I use about half cup each. More if needed, depending on the quantity I'm fixing.)
• 3. Place on baking sheet and spray top side with butter spray until well coated. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake at 400 degrees until starts browning. Turn over and bake a bit longer to brown other side.
