Preparation Steps
  1. Start by washing and slicing the summer squash into ⅓-inch rounds. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  3. In a bowl, toss the squash rounds with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the Parmesan and panko breadcrumbs.
  5. Dredge each seasoned squash slice in the cheese and breadcrumb mix.
  6. Arrange the coated squash slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  7. Roast the squash for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden and crispy.
  8. Remove from oven and garnish with fresh parsley or thyme if desired. Serve immediately.
