Delicious & Easy-Roasted Squash

The bees are pollinating and doing their thing in my garden. In turn, those creative little buzzy guys are making some UGO (unidentified ground objects) for me to play around with.
Roasted Squash-Whole
Take this mix of zucchini/butternut squash. To understand the enormity of this squash, that is a beefsteak tomato next to it (about the size of a baseball).

 

Roasted Squash-Halved
This hybrid offered yellowish skin with a beautiful zucchini coating.

 

Roasted Squash-Halves
I had to taste it-in the raw-and the flesh was sweeter than your average zucchini. I decided then and there, it must be cooked! Or roasted. And eaten. And enjoyed. And boy was it enjoyed.

 

Roasted Squash-Ingredients
Here’s all that you need to roast your very own zucchini-hybrid or not (printable recipe on the bottom):

1-2 Sizable Zucchinis
4-8 Cloves Garlic
1 Medium Onion
1/4 C Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to Taste

Preheat the oven to 400.

 

Roasted Squash-Cut
Start by slicing the zucchinis into rounds, then cut the rounds in quarters.

 

Roasted Squash-Onions

Slice the onion into large rings and then in half.

 

Roasted Squash-Garlic
Disrobe the garlic and smash each clove (a little bit) with a spoon or the palm of your hand.

 

Roasted Squash-In pan, Onions
Line one or two 9 x 13 pan(s) with aluminum foil and add the zucchini, onions and garlic. Drizzle the olive oil over the top of the vegetables.

 

Roasted Squash-Finished 1
Roast at 400 for 40 minutes, stirring once halfway through the roasting time.

 

Roasted Squash-Finished Far
Enjoy as a side, or as a full meal-as Biceps did.

Below is the printable recipe for those of you that like that sort of thing.
