Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized yellow squash, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (Panko or regular)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Cooking spray (for greasing)

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment paper with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. In a shallow dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well to create the breading mixture.
3. Drizzle the olive oil over the sliced yellow squash rounds and toss them gently to coat evenly.
4. Take each squash round and press it into the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Place the coated rounds onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
5. Once all the squash rounds are coated and arranged on the baking sheet, sprinkle any remaining breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the rounds to make sure they have a nice, even coating.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the Parmesan crust turns golden brown and crispy.
7. Remove from the oven and let the Baked Parmesan Yellow Squash Rounds cool for a few minutes before serving.
8. Serve these delightful squash rounds as a side dish alongside your favorite main course. They're best enjoyed hot and crispy!
