Ingredients:

1 squash
200g
1 tsp onion powder
2.40g
1 tsp garlic powder
3.10g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1/2 tsp sugar
2.10g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 tsp olive oil
4.50g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's properly heated by the time you are ready to bake the squash.
2. Prepare the Squash:
- Wash the yellow squash thoroughly under running water.
- Cut off the ends of the squash and discard them.
- Slice the squash into 1/4 inch thick rounds.
3. Season the Squash:
- In a large mixing bowl, place the squash slices.
- Add the onion powder, garlic powder, salt, sugar, and black pepper to the bowl.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the squash slices.
4. Mix Well:
- Toss the squash slices in the bowl so that they are evenly coated with the seasoning and olive oil. Ensure each slice is well-covered.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the seasoned squash slices in a single layer on the baking sheet. Avoid overlapping for even cooking.
6. Bake:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the squash is tender and lightly browned around the edges.
7. Serve:
- Remove the baked squash from the oven.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
8. Enjoy:
- Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite main course.

Tips:

- Choose fresh, firm yellow squash for the best results. Look for squash that is free of blemishes and has a vibrant color.

- To ensure even cooking, you can slice the squash into even, thin rounds.

- If you prefer a little crunch, try adding some breadcrumbs on top before baking.

- Feel free to add fresh herbs such as thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.

- Serve the baked squash with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese for a delicious finish.

Baked yellow squash with onion, garlic, and olive oil is a simple yet flavorful side dish that's easy to prepare and complements a wide variety of main courses. With minimal effort, you can create a healthy and delicious addition to your meal that everyone will love.
