Some vegetables at the Moscow Farmers Market look so appetizing, but once you bring them home, they rot or mold in your fridge due to the fact that you have no recipes — or desire — to cook up an unknown vegetable. Summer squash is a popular market find and can add flavor to multiple dishes. Use this simple recipe to eat with pasta, in a burrito or all by itself.
Ingredients
- 2 small yellow summer squash
- 1/4 small onion
- 1 tsp. black pepper
- 1 tsp. salt
How to
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Spray a baking sheet with oil.
- Trim off the ends of the squash — the stuff without seeds — and slice in half, then lengthwise. Slices should be no thicker than 1/2-inch.
- Lay the slices in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Slice the onion into thin wedges and lay them over the squash.
- Sprinkle with half of black pepper and salt.
- Place in oven for 10 minutes.
- Take squash out, stir and flip sides, sprinkling on remaining pepper and salt.
- Bake for another 10 minutes.
- Let cool for five minutes.
