    Tips for Making Roasted Zucchini And Squash

    Baking Sheet 

    So I prefer to use a rimmed baking sheet when I roast vegetables. I find that it is great so you can spread the vegetables out in an even layer. Otherwise, if you have your veggies stacked it will create an uneven cook. 

    Spread in a Single Layer 

    Make sure you spread your vegetables in an even layer on the pan. That way the vegetables roast evenly. 

    Mandoline 

    Evenly slice your zucchini and squash. I like to use a mandoline for slicing the vegetables. You will find you can chop, slice, etc. You can use a knife, but I find the mandoline works great.

    Vegetables 

    Consider adding in other vegetables to the mixture to cook. Sliced peppers, onions, etc. You can create this side dish with a mix of vegetables. 

    Seasonings 

    Feel free to use any type of seasonings you would like. Cajun, lemon pepper or any other flavors. Feel free to use your favorite spices to flavor your veggies. 

    Air Fry 

    If you do not want to roast in the oven whip up the recipe and cook in the air fryer. Do 425 degrees F and then cook for 5 minutes, flip, and repeat. Cook until the veggies are done to your preference. 

    Parmesan Cheese 

    Once the veggies are fully cooked you can grate fresh parmesan cheese on top for a twist of flavor. It is a great compliment to the flavors. 

    Roasted Zucchini and Squash FAQs

    Do you peel the zucchini and squash before cooking? 

    The nice thing about zucchini and squash is it has a very thin skin. So you will not need to peel it before cooking. If you prefer it skinless go ahead, but the skin helps keep the squashes together. 

    How to store the leftover vegetables? 

    Store your veggies in an airtight container in the fridge. The squash lasts for 2-4 days. You will find that the squash will soften up a good amount once it cools down.
