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.
Prepare. Clean the squash well. Slice the squash lengthwise in a uniform thickness of about 1/4 inch.
Add olive oil. Place the squash slices on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
Season the squash. Sprinkle with Stone House Seasoning or just use salt and pepper.
Cook. Place in oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until tender.
Serve. Once squash is done, remove from oven and serve warm.
Storage Tips
To make ahead. Cook and cool. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat and serve.
To freeze. Cool and cool. Store in airtight freezer-safe containers for up to 6 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight, reheat, and serve. Note that the texture of the squash may be softer after being frozen.

Sorry! I got a little punchy with the done button! But really you’re soooo right!!! We’ve got squash coming out the wazoo!!! Soooooo much squash. Especially scallop (or pattypan) squash.
Love squash fixed any way, but this sounds extra good! Something about roasting in the oven makes a food even better! Can’t wait to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing, and have a happy Sunday.
Squash is the best, especially prepared simply as you have done here.
This is my favorite way to enjoy squash!
We generally put it on the grill as well like Renee said. I keep the seasonings nice and simple like you posted. I’ll give the roasting a try on those days when we don’t want to get drenched out grilling. That can happen quite a bit here in Seattle. lol
Squash is one of my favorite summer vegetable to make. It’s healthy, it’s quick, it’s delicious. I haven’t ever tried cooking it this way though. I will next time I buy squash- which will probably be this weekend!
LOVE roasting squash! I’ve even done it out on the grill with indirect heat. Works great and won’t heat the house during these dog days of summer.
