- 2 medium yellow squash
Seasoning & Cheese
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp Greek seasoning
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 450ºF (230ºC) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking your squash.
- Prepare Squash: Cut the zucchini and yellow squash into slices. Toss them well in olive oil to coat evenly, which helps them roast nicely without drying out.
