Healthy Summer Squash Casserole

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

Cut yellow squash and zucchini into thin, ¼-inch slices.

Step 3

Sprinkle ½ teaspoon salt over the zucchini and squash slices. Let sit for 10 minutes and then dab to remove excess moisture with a paper towel.

Step 4

Spray a 9-inch square baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 5

Alternatively, overlap the zucchini and squash in a row. (See pictures.) You should be able to form 4 rows.**

Step 6

Drizzle olive oil over the zucchini and squash and then sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Step 7

In a small bowl combine Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and garlic powder. Toss to combine and then sprinkle over the zucchini and squash.

Step 8

Cover baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 9

Remove foil and turn heat to a High broil. Broil for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until breadcrumb topping starts to turn a golden brown.

Step 10

Serve immediately with fresh parsley and enjoy!
