Oven Roasted Squash Recipe
Description
The Oven Roasted Squash Recipe focuses on slicing squash into consistent 1/4-inch thick pieces, which ensures even cooking. The squash slices are drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with seasoning—either a commercial blend or just salt and pepper—before being cooked at 400°F until they become tender. The roasting process softens the squash while also allowing some slices to develop a lightly caramelized surface, contributing gentle sweetness and a pleasing texture.
This straightforward recipe works well as a warm vegetable side dish that pairs easily with proteins like chicken, fish, or pork. Its simplicity allows the natural flavor of the squash to shine without overwhelming seasoning.
The dish can be prepared ahead of time; after cooling, store the roasted squash in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days, reheating before serving. It can also be frozen for up to six months, though freezing may slightly soften the texture. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating to maintain best quality.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds squash sliced into 1/4-inch thick slices
- 1 tablespoon olive oil divided amongst the squash slices
- 1 teaspoon seasoning mix or use 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, Stone House brand
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Clean squash and then slice lengthwise to uniform thickness, about 1/4 of an inch. Place on baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with Stone House Seasoning or salt and pepper. Place in oven and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and serve warm.
Notes
- Prepare the squash slices evenly at about 1/4 inch thick to ensure uniform tenderness when roasted.
- Store cooked squash in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for later use; reheat before serving.
- For longer storage, freeze cooled roasted squash in freezer-safe containers for up to 6 months; thaw overnight in refrigerator and reheat.
- Note that freezing may alter the squash’s texture, making it softer upon reheating.
