Roasted Squash Medley

Roasted vegetables are some of the most delicious and flavorful side dishes you can serve with dinner. This colorful yellow squash and zucchini dish is very healthy and tasty, packed with beautiful spices! I layered them in a glass dish after tossing them in olive oil and various seasonings to coat them evenly. I garnished the squash at the end with refreshing yellow and red cherry tomatoes and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese! Yum!

I made sure to get the Parmesan toasted so that the vegetables has a slight texture to them!

If you're in a rush with no time to layer, toss the squash onto a baking sheet instead!

If you want to know just how yummy these vegetables were, let's just say they were devoured in minutes. I love serving roasted vegetables alongside steaks or chicken to replace carbs. They also just pair really well with proteins and have such a balance of flavors. I kept this vegetable mix simple by using zucchini squash, yellow squash, and a few tomatoes. The flavors matched perfectly and everything combined evenly.

You can choose to opt out on the Parmesan cheese to make this dish even healthier. I, however, happen to like the added flavor and texture it gives to the dish. Instead of having soft vegetables, the Parmesan gives a tiny bit of crunch on the exterior of the vegetables that I really enjoy!
