These Parmesan Baked Squash And Zucchini Spears are so easy to make and are a great, healthy, and clean snack or dinner side.

Parmesan Baked Squash And Zucchini Spears

zucchinis, (quartered lengthwise)

yellow squash, (quartered lengthwise)

parmesan, (grated)

½ tsp dried thyme

oregano

garlic powder

½ tsp kosher salt (or sea salt)

¼ tsp ground black pepper

olive oil

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and then lay an oven-safe cooling rack over the parchment paper. Rub the cooling rack with ½ the olive oil to coat and then set aside.

In a small bowl, combine the parmesan, thyme, oregano, garlic powder, kosher salt, and pepper.

Place the sliced zucchini and squash in a medium mixing bowl and drizzle the remaining ½ tbsp. olive oil over. Toss to coat evenly.

Add the parmesan-spice mixture and toss to coat.

Place the zucchini and squash spears onto the prepared cooling rack on the baking sheet.

Sprinkle any remaining parmesan-spice mixture from the bowl over the squash and zucchini.

Place into the oven and bake until tender, about 15-18 minutes.

My spouse and I like this recipe and have used it multiple times. As others have pointed out, however, either the nutritional information or the items used in the recipe need to be corrected. (For example, if low-fat grated Parmesan was used rather than regular). Perhaps some of the nutritional info is for the entire recipe and some is for 1 serving? 

I collected info from the USDA website to provide the following for the entire recipe: 29.6 g carbohydrate, 22.7 g cholesterol, 22.8 g total fat, 360 calories, and 17.1 g protein. 

(The Parmesan supplies 3.6 g carbohydrate, 22.7 g cholesterol, 7.3 g total fat, 7.5 g protein, and 111 calories. The olive oil provides 0 g carbohydrate, 0 mg cholesterol, 13.5 g total fat, 0 g protein, and 119 calories. The squash and zucchini together have 13 g carbohydrate, 0 mg cholesterol, 1.0 g total fat, 4.8 g protein, and 65 calories).

I really wanted these to be better. They were sub-par.

I wanted to try something new and healthy, and this was a big hit, even with my husband who doesn’t like most vegetables! I’m going to make it a regular side now! Thank you!

Excellent!  Thank you for sharing your recipe!

I am diabetic and need to start better. Need help with meal planning. Thank you!

Hi, I tried this today and the kids loves it! Thanks!!
