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.

We make this with our CSA squash. I add a little less salt and sprinkle on some grated cheese instead. Yum.
So glad you like the squash cooked this way, Leslie. Thanks!
Very tasty & even better, simple to make. Sometimes I cut them as directed & sometimes in half moons. They always turn out great! Love love love this recipe!!!
Thanks, Lara. I’m glad you love the simplicity of this recipe.
Looking forward to making this dish for my family.
I hope you and your family enjoy the squash, Helen.
Such a healthy and delicious way to cook summer squash. So much more flavor.
Hi Nancy, I love this way to cook summer squash. It is so easy to make as well. So glad you liked it, too.
Thank you so much
I love southern cooking.
Thanks, Sheri.
I made this quick, easy recipe. I cut the yellow squash horizontally, seasoned and oil it, cooked it 15 minutes. Then I covered both with parmesan cheese, broiled till lightly browned then added mozzarella cheese and broiled again. It was great!! I ate both haves for lunch! Thank you so much for the quick and easy lunch!!
Thanks, Jenn. This sounds delicious.
do you not take the seeds out ?
Lilita, this recipe is for yellow summer squash so you will leave the seeds in.
Hi Robyn…I am a bit confused also. An uncooked squash is not an easy thing to slice lengthwise…let alone only 1/4 inch thick for each slice. Am I understanding that correctly? Maybe Im just not as strong as I used to be..lol. But Im really struggling to do that! Thanks
Heidi, I just want to make sure you are using yellow summer squash and not a harder variety such as a spaghetti squash. This recipe is for yellow summer squash and should be tender enough to slice. I hope this helps.
I have never cooked squash but i love it.
In the hot summer months I do this recipe on the grille.
Barb, I wanted to do this on the grill as well and saw your reply 1st. How long did you leave on the grill and what temp? Did you make any other changes?
Patty, look at my Grilled Zucchini Recipe. You would grill the squash the same. I hope you enjoy!
