Crispy Oven-Baked Squash
This recipe takes me back to Grandma’s kitchen where the aroma of summer squash filled the air. With every crispy bite, there was a sense of home—simple, hearty, and made with love. It’s a perfect way to turn garden squash into a golden treat. Try it once, and it might just become your new comfort food favorite.

Ingredients
3 medium yellow squash (about 5 cups), very thinly sliced
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup powdered Parmesan cheese
2 tsp Cajun seasoning (or all-purpose seasoning)
Oil spray (for baking)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and lightly spray with oil.
In a large bowl, mix cornmeal, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and seasoning.
Slice squash into thin, even rounds (a mandoline works great!).
Toss squash slices in the dry mixture, pressing gently to coat.
Arrange slices in a single layer on the baking sheet. Spray the tops lightly with oil.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until crispy and golden.
Let cool a minute and enjoy while warm!
