Step 3: Serve and Enjoy
- Transfer to a Serving Dish: Once the squash is tender and beautifully browned, transfer it to a serving dish. If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top for a savory finish. The cheese will melt slightly from the residual heat, adding a delightful richness to the dish.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with additional fresh herbs for a burst of color and freshness. Serve the patty pan squash immediately while it’s still warm. This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken, steak, or fish, but can also be enjoyed on its own as a light and satisfying vegetarian option.
Variations and Tips
Add Some Spice: If you enjoy a bit of heat, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix. This will give your patty pan squash a subtle kick that complements its natural sweetness.
Herb Substitutions: Feel free to experiment with different herbs. Basil, rosemary, or even dill can provide unique and delicious flavor profiles.
Cheese Alternatives: While Parmesan cheese is a classic choice, other cheeses like feta or goat cheese can also work beautifully. These cheeses add a tangy note that pairs well with the squash.
Oven Roasting: If you prefer, you can roast the seasoned squash in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until tender and caramelized. This method allows for a hands-off approach and results in a slightly different texture.
