Roasted Squash With Parmesan Recipes

ROASTED YELLOW SQUASH WITH PARMESAN CHEESE AND HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450° F
• Trim the stem end of the squash and cut them into round slices with equal thickness so they cook evenly. Use paper towels to absorb some excess water from the yellow squash to prevent a mushy texture after cooking.
• Transfer to a large bowl, and season with oil, Italian herbs, cayenne pepper, parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
• Transfer the mixture to a shallow baking dish. Cook, uncovered, for about 20-25 minutes.

ROASTED SQUASH WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Place 1 squash or zucchini on a cutting board. Cut zucchini at a 45-degree angle on the bias, rotate squash a quarter turn toward you so that the cut side faces up. Cut again at a 45-degree angle right through the middle of the face. Rotate the squash a quarter turn again and repeat process. Repeat process until all squash and zucchini are cut.
• Transfer squash and zucchini to a large bowl. Add 1/4 cup olive oil, salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper; toss to combine. Add Parmesan and toss until squash and zucchini are well coated.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Fit a rimmed baking sheet with a rack; spray rack with nonstick cooking spray.
• Spread squash and zucchini pieces evenly on prepared rack. Transfer to oven and roast until tender and lightly caramelized, about 12 minutes, rotating pan halfway through cooking. Remove from oven and let cool slightly; transfer squash and zucchini to a large platter or 4 individual plates.
• Drizzle squash with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Zest lemon over squash and cut lemon into wedges; squeeze lemon over squash. Season with Maldon sea salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper; serve immediately.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, stir together the squash, olive oil, garlic, salt, Italian seasoning, pepper, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Spread into a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 10 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the oven and carefully toss the squash. Spread back into an even layer, sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan, then return to the oven and continue cooking until the squash is tender and the Parmesan is golden, about 10 additional minutes. Transfer to a bowl (or serve it right off the baking sheet). Sprinkle the thyme over the top. Enjoy hot.

OVEN-ROASTED YELLOW SQUASH WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450˚F.
• Cover 1 half-size cookie sheet with aluminum foil (non-stick foil is my favorite) or a silicone baking mat.
• Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil onto sheet. Dump sliced squash onto covered sheet and "stir-it-up" with your hands to coat all the squash with oil.
• Arrange sliced yellow squash on prepared cookie sheet so they generally are not overlapping.
• Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese is browned.

PARMESAN-ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in middle.
• Toss squash with cream, sage, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a 2-quart shallow baking dish. Bake, covered, 30 minutes.
• Stir in half of cheese and sprinkle remainder on top. Roast, uncovered, until squash is tender and beginning to brown, about 20 minutes. Let stand about 5 minutes before serving (cream will thicken).
• Cooks note: Butternut squash can be cut 1 day ahead and chilled in sealable bags. If you're making this entire menu, squash can be roasted at same time as mushroom and farro pie. Use upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position halfway through.
