Description

This tasty and delicious summer squash recipe is high in vitamin C. 

Ingredients
  • 3 Summer Squash
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil (drizzle)
  • Basil (optional, for Garnish)
  • Thyme (optional, for Garnish)
  • Herb Oil
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tbsp Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 clove Garlic (grated)
  • 2 tbsp Parsley (finely chopped)
  • 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
  • Black Pepper (to taste)
  • Bread Crumb Topping:
  • 1/4 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
  • 1/4 cup Cheese (low fat)
  • 1 tbsp Parsley (chopped)
  • 1/4-1/2 tsp Sea Salt
Instructions
  1. 1

    Slice the squash into ¼-inch rounds. If the squash is large, slice the rounds into half-moons.

  2. 2

    Prepare herb oil: In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper and shake to combine.

  3. 3

    Prepare topping: In a small bowl, combine the panko, Vegan Parmesan, parsley, salt, several grinds of pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes, if desired.

  4. 4

    Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a few drizzles of olive oil. Add the squash and sauté for about 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally so that all sides get cooked. I like to cook mine until it’s soft, yet still has a firm bite, but before it becomes too watery and mushy. Remove from the skillet and toss with the herb oil. Top with the panko mixture, and fresh herbs, if desired.
