Roasted Lemon Garlic Patty Pan Squash

If you have a summer garden and it’s a been a good year, now is the time you are likely picking what feels like an endless supply of Patty Pan Squash. I am picking these pretty little squashes by the bowlful every few days and this is my absolute favorite way to prepare them. This recipe is delicious and roasts these squashes to perfection in a delicious blend of garlic and lemon seasoning and finally garnished with fresh basil before serving. These reheat really well, retaining their flavor and texture.  You’re going to love them!Preheat your oven to 400 F. Cut the ends off the patty pan squash.Cut them in half and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. (Do not peel!). Cut each half in to bite size pieces. Set aside.
In a small bowl whisk together oil, pressed garlic, salt, pepper and lemon and herb spice mix. Add squash pieces and toss well. Line a baking tray with parchment and spread the squash on the tray.
Roast for about 25-35 minutes depending on the size of your pieces. Turn on broil for final 2 minutes to brown (optional).
Remove from oven and place in serving bowl.Toss with chopped fresh basil to garnish. Enjoy!
