I love serving roasted yellow squash and zucchini in the summer. I have made it in so many different ways, including parmesan zucchini rounds, zucchini fries, and zucchini fritters. I have even turned summer squash into a cornbread casserole. But this recipe for roasted zucchini and yellow squash is the simplest. 

It’s the best for those busy nights when you just want to get something on the table. It only takes about 5 minutes to prep and then all of the work is done in the oven, roasting the yellow squash and zucchini. Two of my favorite summer vegetables.

This recipe is made with lemon pepper seasoning. I started experimenting with this seasoning when I was recipe testing for my cookbook. It has a wonderful flavor that goes especially well zucchini, squash, and fish.

How to make roasted zucchini and yellow squash?

  1. Start by slicing and quartering your zucchini and summer squash. 
  2. Toss the veggies in olive oil, salt, and lemon pepper seasoning. 
  3. Spread the squash and zucchini on a foil-lined cookie sheet in an even layer.
  4. Roast for 20 minutes for perfectly tender baked squash and zucchini.

What to serve with baked squash and zucchini?

I love serving roasted yellow squash and zucchini with teriyaki salmon, foil packet tilapia, or creamy pesto chicken. Or, if you want to double your zucchini intake, try Zucchini Baked Ziti.

Do you peel yellow squash?

No. The skin on the yellow squash are completely edible. It has a very mild flavor, so there is no need to waste your time peeling yellow squash (also known as summer squash).

How do you cut yellow squash?

For this recipe, we cut the yellow squash into 1/2 inch rounds and then cut the rounds into quarters. This turns them into perfect bite-sized pieces that roast well in the oven.
