Ingredients

Scale

2 medium zucchini, trimmed and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds

2 medium yellow squash, trimmed and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds

1 small lemon squash, sliced (optional)

6–8 garlic cloves, peeled

2–3 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 tablespoon fresh parsley or basil, chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F and toss garlic cloves with 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small dish, cover with foil and roast for 15–20 minutes until soft and golden.

2. Heat remaining olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add roasted garlic, mashing cloves to infuse oil.

3. Add sliced onion and cook 2–3 minutes until translucent.

4. Add zucchini, yellow squash and lemon squash in a single layer, season with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning, and sauté, turning occasionally, until edges begin to caramelize, about 8–10 minutes.

5. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over vegetables, reduce heat slightly and cook until cheese melts and forms a light golden crust, about 2–3 minutes.

6. Garnish with chopped parsley or basil and serve immediately, with an optional squeeze of lemon juice.
