Roasted Patty Pan Squash
Description
Patty pan squash, cut into one-inch pieces, is tossed with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper and roasted at a high temperature until just tender-crisp and lightly caramelized. The recipe includes an optional finishing herb oil blending fresh parsley, basil, dill, lemon zest, and olive oil, which is whisked together and tossed with the warm squash. This elevates the roasted squash with aromatic freshness and subtle acidity from the lemon zest.
The result is a side dish with a balance of soft interior and slightly crisp edges, highlighted by the fragrant herb oil. It is served warm and can complement a variety of main dishes. The squash's naturally mild flavor is enhanced but not overwhelmed by the herbs and garlic.
Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
