Summer squash and zucchini are rolling in daily and squash casserole recipes abound so this is an easy alternative for using up that squash in a way that even company enjoys. It is easy, healthy, and can be made from ingredients you probably have on hand. Serves four
Ingredients:
Cooking spray oil (spray olive oil is nice; no spray? Brush on some vegetable oil);
5 medium or 10 small yellow squash or zucchini;
Old Bay Seasoning (or other seasoning, for example, Italian Seasoning).
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400.
Slice the small zucchini or summer squash vertically into 1/2 ‘ thick slices. If medium sized squash are used, cut in half horizontally first.
Place in a single layer on a cookie sheet sprayed with oil.
Sprinkle with Old Bay (or Italian Seasoning etc).
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, turning at the end of 15 minutes, or until brown.

Squash are good on the grill, too, and if cut lengthwise, as shown in your photo, you don’t have to worry about them falling through the grates (and no need to use a wire basket – no extra cleanup).
And grilling is cooler too.
