Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment for easy clean up.
Cut zucchini and squash into 1/4 inch thick slices. Thinly slice the onion.
Combine oil and spices in a bowl and add in the vegetables. Stir well to completely cover them.
Bake in oven for 10 minutes. Stir and continue baking for another 5 minutes or until tender.
If you would like the squash and onions a bit crispier, broil them for about 2 minutes. But watch them carefully so they don't burn.
Serve with some optional chopped parsley over top.

Notes

*Leave the peel on the squash. It has the most nutrition and will soften as it cooks.

*Leftover roasted squash and onions can be quickly reheated in a small fry pan for a minute or two.

*Fresh, uncooked squash will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

*You can freeze squash but it will get mushy. But it is perfect to add into baked goods. See the Freeze Your Own website listed above for how to freeze.
