Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds summer squash (about 3 medium)

- 1/8 tsp. black pepper
- 2 Tbsp. panko breadcrumbs

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.
