"Summer Squash in my vegetable garden"Every summer I make a very easy side dish, using both green and yellow summer squash. It's not only easy to make, it's also super fast to whip up, extremely low in calories and fat, and you don't need much to put it together.
Ingredients:
2 medium yellow squash
2 medium zucchini
3 large cloves of minced garlic
4 Tbs of extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt & pepper to taste ( You can also use regular salt if you want)
Cut zucchini and yellow squash in half length wise. Continue to cut making long match sticks out of them. Place the already cut summer squash into a baking dish. Add the rest of the ingredients and toss well. Place uncovered in a oven that's been heated to 425 degrees. Turn occasionally while cooking. This dish should take 20 to 25 minutes to bake or until they are soft.
Once done, remove from the oven and serve along side of your favorite vegetarian or meat dish.
squash? that's new to me, is it a vege or a fruit?
ReplyDeleteHello Alison,
ReplyDeletesummer squash is a vegetable. There's both yellow and green. The green summer squash is called a zucchini.
Have a great day.

Hello Eva,
ReplyDeleteZucchini is so good. I've never tried any French zucchini recipes. I'm sure they're delicious prepared French style.
Have a pleasant day!

Mmmm... squaaaaaash. When you boil it and mash it like potatoes, it's squashed squash. That's yummy too!
ReplyDeleteLydia that sounds wonderful. Another of your recipes that I must try.

Thank you for complementing my butterfly photo. Taking pics of butterflies is so fun. I can't wait to get back to the local butterfly sanctuary so I can take more. I've been trying to get butterfly pic in my yard too.
Wishing you a pleasant day.
