    Yellow Squash - Low Carb and Nutritious

    Yellow squash is high in vitamins A, B6, and C, folate, magnesium, fiber, riboflavin, phosphorus, and potassium. It is also rich in manganese. Manganese is a useful mineral to help the body's ability to process fats and carbohydrates.

    Summer squashes are non-starchy vegetables and are low in carbohydrates, making them acceptable for some Keto-dieters.

    Squash: a Go-To Vegetable

    If you asked me ten years back which vegetables I had most I probably would have said lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and carrots.

    I still eat a lot of those but now consume as much squash and zucchini as much as other vegetables. They're tasty on their own or in a salad and are especially great in a hot dish.

    When cooked just right they both have a nice mix of both firm and soft and are juicy to bite into. I hope to add a lot more squash recipes to the site, they never let me down!

    How to Roast Yellow Squash with Parmesan Cheese in the Oven:

    Step 1. Prepare the Yellow Squash

    • Trim the stem end of the squash and cut them into round slices with equal thickness so they cook evenly.
    • Use paper towels to absorb some excess water from the yellow squash to prevent a mushy texture after cooking.

    Step 2. Prepare the Seasoning

    In a small bowl, combine all of the seasoning ingredients. Set aside.

    Step 3. Season the Squash

    Transfer the squash to a large bowl or a shallow baking dish. Add the seasoning. Stir to combine.

    Step 4. Bake in the Oven

    Preheat the oven to 450°F and cook the squash, uncovered, for about 20-25 minutes.

    FAQ and Cooking Tips:

    How do you store leftover cooked yellow squash?

    You can store the leftover cooked yellow squash in an airtight container. The leftover can last 3–5 days in the refrigerator.

    How do you reheat leftover cooked squash?

    You can reheat the leftover in the oven at 450°F for about 5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

    Do you need to peel yellow squash before cooking?

    No, you don't need to peel the yellow squash before cooking. The skin is edible and nutritious. In addition, the skin helps the squash hold together better when cooked and adds a nice texture to the overall dish.

    How do you store fresh yellow squash?

    Do not wash the squash before storing. You can store the fresh yellow squash in a plastic bag that has a few holes poked in it. Summer squash can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

    What can I use if I don't have Italian seasoning?

    You can use thyme, oregano, basil, and/or rosemary.

        Hi Pat,

        Thanks so much for sharing your feedback! I am glad to hear that you liked the roasted yellow squash recipe and will be cooking it regularly. I was really pleased with this one too.. squash can be tough as you don’t want it to come out mushy. My family loves the natural taste of the squash so I just did some light seasoning to compliment it but let the squash taste be the real star. Thanks again for the comment!

        Best,

        Rika
