Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly to prevent the squash from sticking.
2. Prepare the Squash: Wash, dry, and trim the ends of the yellow squash. Slice the squash into ¼-inch thick rounds to ensure even cooking.
3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Arrange the squash rounds on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. This allows the squash to bake evenly and become tender.
4. Season the Squash: Sprinkle garlic salt and black pepper on each squash round. You can adjust the seasoning to your taste preferences.
5. Add Parmesan Cheese: Generously top each squash round with grated Parmesan cheese. The cheese will melt and form a crispy, golden crust during baking.
6. Bake to Perfection: Bake the squash in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the cheese is golden and crispy. For an extra crispy finish, you can broil the squash for a few minutes at the end.
7. Serve and Enjoy: Let the squash cool briefly before serving. Baked Parmesan Yellow Squash can be enjoyed as a side dish, appetizer, or snack.
