Summer squash is such a delicious vegetable that goes perfectly with so many main dishes. It makes the perfect side dish for just about anything you’re serving for supper in the summer or anytime. Pair it with baked chicken breast, grilled chicken, or a skillet steak or alongside a hearty salad. I think this squash goes with just about anything!

How to Cook Oven Roasted Squash

Ingredients

Be sure to see the recipe card below for the full listing of ingredients, instructions, notes, and estimated nutritional information.

  • Squash – about 2 pounds of fresh squash
  • Olive oil – enhances the flavor of the squash
  • Stone House Seasoning – my favorite house seasoning blend of salt, pepper, and granulated garlic. I love to keep it on hand to flavor dishes. You can also substitute with salt and black pepper.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
