Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • This easy roasted zucchini recipe with yellow summer squash is healthy and simple to make.

Roasted Zucchini and Squash Bake

When I first made this recipe it was to use up quite a lot of the squash we had been gifted one summer. We must have had this zucchini casserole 4 times in a month. I also made a skillet meal with kielbasa and zucchini that we enjoyed very much. Since it was summer I grilled this sun-dried tomato grilled chicken with vegetables dish that totally was a hit. Anything we could do to use it, we tried.

Out of all the recipes, this was our favorite way to serve the vegetables. Simple yet darn tasty. You want to have the squashes be of about the same size to make the casserole look uniform but you do what you have to and I did have to cut some slices in half again to make them fit. Still delicious! Also, keep in mind that zucchini and squash have a high water content, so be sure to not overcook it.

This summer squash casserole is an easy side dish recipe that can easily be a main meal for lunch or dinner. It is also perfect as a side with a holiday meal.

Tips, Tricks, and FAQs

  • Sometimes I add slices of Roma tomatoes with the other vegetables.
  • Add more Parmesan cheese if you like, or substitute crumbled Feta cheese.
  • Change up the seasonings with Italian seasoning, chili powder, or red pepper flakes, or use your favorite fresh herbs. Thyme works well with the summer squashes.
  • Add garlic powder or minced fresh garlic with the salt and pepper.
  • Store leftover zucchini and squash casserole in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

  1. I grocery shop by myself–it’s always been my “me” time. But, like you, I find it frustrating lately with high prices.

    I love the way you’ve arranged the vegetables in this dish. You’ve turned your bargain into a beautiful dish…holiday table worthy! Thank you for sharing with See Ya in the Gumbo this week!
