Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare Squash: Wash the yellow squash and cut off the ends. Slice the squash into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Mix Coating: In a bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a seasoned coating.
- Coat Squash: Drizzle the olive oil over the sliced yellow squash and toss to coat evenly. This will help the coating adhere to the squash slices.
- Coat with Mixture: Place the seasoned coating mixture in a shallow dish. Press each slice of yellow squash into the coating mixture, pressing gently to adhere the mixture to both sides of the squash.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated squash slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Leave a bit of space between each slice to allow for even baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the coating is golden and crispy.
- Serve: Once baked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the baked Parmesan yellow squash cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy: Serve the baked Parmesan yellow squash as a delicious and nutritious side dish. It’s great as a snack or a side with grilled meats, poultry, or fish.
