Roasted Yellow Squash


Yellow squash would have to be my second favorite vegetable. Steamed, baked, or roasted, it’s good anytime. This can be a great side dish - add brown rice, some protein and you have a full meal!

IT DOESN’T TAKE MUCH

2 pounds yellow squash, sliced lengthwise
1 small onion, sliced into small wedges
3 slices of bacon, chopped
1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons healthy oil
salt & pepper
Preheat oven to 400F degrees.

It’s good to slice the squash and onions the same width, about 1/2 inch thick. Put all the sliced vegetables on a large sheet pan and drizzle the oil over them. Just use your hands to toss the vegetables and make sure their well coated.

Spread the veggies out on the sheet pan, sprinkle the chopped bacon on top. Roast the vegetables for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender. THAT’S IT!
