Parmesan Roasted Pattypan Squash

 

 

It's summer and that means summer squash! If you are growing squash in your garden, it seems you either have too much, or not enough. If you are in the "too much squash" camp, you quickly find yourself discovering new ways to use all that squash. How about a great roasted pattypan squash recipe? It's quick, easy, and delicious.

Parmesan Roasted Pattypan Squash

I never tried pattypan squash before. It was always the long-neck yellow squash or the green zucchini my mother grew in her gardens. Summer and squash seem to go together in my memories of childhood. But my dear husband doesn’t like squash (or so he thinks). So what to do with these odd-shaped squash? How about roasting them with butter, parmesan, and bread crumbs?

It was delicious, and husband enjoyed it. Really. With butter and cheese, how can you go wrong?

Recipe 

Slice squash and layer in casserole dish

Add a pat of butter to each slice

Layer with bread crumbs, parmesan, salt, and pepper to taste

Bake 20 minutes or until golden brown

The squash will be soft with a toasty crunchy layer of crumbs and parmesan – yum!

How do you enjoy your summer squash?

    HI Michelle,
    My husband claims he doesn’t like squash either and I like it a lot so maybe I try this on him and convert him to a squash lover. Sounds quite tasty and easy to make. Thanks for sharing on Real Food Fridays. Pinned & Tweeted

    We love squash, so this is a great time of year for us. We’re not growing any patty pan this year, but we love lots of zephyr and yellow straightnecks (and zukes) starting to come in. My favorite will always be the fried squash my mama makes. Not sure how she does it but it involves plenty of onions and black pepper. I’m inspired now to get her recipe!

      Fried is my favorite way to eat squash. When I made it for Carl, it was the first time he had squash he enjoyed. Apparently his Dutch mother boiled all their vegetables. Enjoy your squash season!

    Thank you for the recipe! I’ll have to try this. Normally I have to dice squashes up very, very fine and “hide” them in food to get my family (especially my husband) to eat them.

      Yep, sometimes we have to hide things. But this recipe helps improve the texture and taste for those squash haters 😉 Good luck!

This easy coconut oil granola recipe is delicious and good for you. I have always enjoyed granola, and knew that somehow it was supposed to be "good for me", but I never really understood all the reasons why, or how to make granola. Protein and fiber-rich nuts and oats combined with healthy coconut oils will keep you healthy and satisfied. Once you make your own granola, you will be reluctant to go back to store bought cereals again.

Mead, or honey wine, is an alcoholic beverage made using honey, water, and fermentation. Alcohol content? Yes, most definitely. What better act of radical homemaking than to make our own alcoholic beverage using only water, honey, and the wild yeasts around us? As the popularity of homemade honey wine increases, there are many supplies and fermentation kits available. But learning how to make mead is not complicated and you can enjoy homemade honey wine using only honey, water, and wild fermentation. I like to experiment with adding a variety of herbs for flavor, color, and other qualities. Let me show you the easy way of making herbal honey wine without a big investment in time or special supplies.
