Easy Roasted Summer Squash

Not only is roasting summer squash an easy summertime side dish, it's delicious.  I served these roasted squash rounds along side seared halibut with lemon butter, but it would go great with any protein.  And, it only takes 20 minutes to cook. Simple, healthy and perfect for this time of year {especially, if you have some squash growing in your garden!}.

Easy Roasted Summer Squash

2 large zucchini, sliced into half-inch rounds

2 large yellow squash, sliced into half-inch rounds

extra virgin olive oil

salt

lemon pepper

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

On a large baking dish arrange the summer squash so that they are all lying flat.  Drizzle with the olive, and sprinkle with salt and lemon pepper to taste.  {I didn't really measure anything out here, I just went with what looked and felt right.}

Using your hands, toss the summer squash so that the olive oil, salt and pepper coat both sides of each squash piece.

Place the pan in the oven, and allow the squash to cook for 20 minutes.  Now you have time to cook the rest of the meal while your summer squash is in the oven roasting away!  See I told you it was easy.
