This Roasted Squash and Parmesan recipe is super easy to make because rather than roasting it in the oven, it cooks in 5 minutes in the microwave! Every Mardi Gras, I like to gather some friends at my home and cook a big meal for them. One of the dishes I love to make is this simple squash bake.
I start by slicing a variety of veggies such as green zucchini, yellow squash and red onion. I layer these in a microwave safe dish and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top. When I am ready to cook this, I simply heat it in the microwave for 5-7 minutes. I find this dish can work as a main dish or as a side dish to complement the rest of my Mardi Gras feast.
To make my Roasted Squash and Parmesan, you will need the following ingredients:
Lay one-third of the squash and zucchini slices in a deep, microwave-safe dish. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper.
Repeat the layers with the remaining vegetables. Sprinkle cheese on top and cover the dish.
Cook in the microwave for 5-7 minutes until the squash is cooked.
Leave to cool for a minimum of 5 minutes before serving.
This Roasted Squash and Parmesan recipe is a brilliant one to make for a crowd - simply prepare it in advance and cook just before serving. Try it out for Mardi Gras this year and come back to leave your thoughts below.
