One of my favorite things about summer
is the bountiful and delicious summer produce
When we were at the beach last week,
we enjoyed these 2 easy summer side dishes
that require minimum time in the kitchen,
and will go well with anything you’re grilling outside
We had 3 ears of corn leftover that I paired
with yellow squash, zucchini and cherry tomatoes
The squash and zucchini are cut into thin rounds,
topped with halved tomatoes and corn cut from the cob
Drizzle everything with olive oil,
season with salt and pepper, and top with shaved Parmesan
Bake at 425 degrees F for 25 minutes
We had this with BBQ pulled pork,
Hash Brown Potato Casserole and watermelon
Roasting vegetables is not only easy,
but it really enhances their flavors and preserves their nutrition
which can be diminished with other cooking methods
We also enjoyed this similar side dish of Parmesan squash rounds
The squash is cut into thin slices,
seasoned with garlic salt, pepper
Finely grated Parmesan
Bake at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes
This is a great side dish,
but it would be a tasty appetizer at cocktail time too
