- Start by pre-heating the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Next, take the yellow squash and start slicing them into a round ½ inch thickness.
- After that take a bowl and mix the dry spices, add 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon basil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 ½ teaspoon paprika, and half a cup breadcrumbs.
- Next, take the olive oil and evenly rub on the sliced yellow squash, an easier way of doing it is adding 2 tablespoons of water and olive oil in a plastic bag and adding the yellow squash slices in it, this would allow you to mix them properly without making a mess.
- Now use the dry spices you’ve mixed and apply them to the oiled yellow squash slices.
- Next, take a baking sheet and line then with parchment paper or use a cooking spray, place the squash slices evenly spaced on it and bake for about 7-8 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet, take the grated parmesan cheese and sprinkle on the squash slices evenly.
- Pop the baking dish back into the oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes until the cheese is properly melted and the squash is tender enough.
- Taste to see if there is any need for an extra sprinkle of salt or pepper, if there isn’t sprinkle some chopped parsley or basil and serve.
