Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds summer squash (about 3 medium)
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 tsp. salt, divided
  • 1/8 tsp. black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp. panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 tsp. garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.*
  2. Slice squash into 1-inch thick rounds. Wider sections of the squash can be cut into halfmoons.
  3. Put squash into a large bowl and add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and the pepper. Toss to coat.
  4. Arrange squash in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake until starting to brown, about 10-12 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, mix together the breadcrumbs, remaining tablespoon of olive oil, remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and the garlic powder.
  6. Remove squash from oven and turn the broiler on. Flip and stir the squash pieces a bit. Sprinkle it all with the breadcrumb mixture.
  7. Set it under the broiler just until the breadcrumbs are golden brown, 3-4 minutes.

Notes

*For extra browning, instead preheat the broiler and arrange the oven rack so that the squash will be 7-8 inches from the heating element. Everything else about the recipe stays the same, you just will need less time for it to start browning under the broiler.
