Easy Garlic Roasted Patty Pan Squash

Easy Garlic Roasted Patty Pan Squash

Serves: 4 | Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

1½ lbs patty pan squash, trimmed and halved (or quartered if large)

2–3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp olive oil

½ tsp salt (or to taste

¼ tsp black pepper

½ tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning (optional)

Fresh herbs (like parsley or basil) for garnish – optional

Grated Parmesan (optional for serving)

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

In a large bowl, toss squash with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs if using. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes to let the garlic infuse – this is your “pre-seasoning.”

Spread squash in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet (cut side down for more browning).

Roast for 18–22 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and tender.

Optional: Sprinkle with Parmesan and broil for 2 minutes until lightly crisp.

Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm or at room temp.

Tips:

Too much squash? Double the batch – it keeps well in the fridge.

Great with grilled meats, pasta, or on its own with crusty bread.
