Steps
Place an oven rack in the center position of the oven. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (OR foil lightly misted with nonstick cooking spray).
Wash and dry the yellow squash, and then cut each one into 1/4-inch thick slices. Arrange the squash rounds on the prepared pan, with little to no space between them. Lightly sprinkle the squash with garlic salt and freshly ground black pepper. Use a small spoon to spread a thin layer of Parmesan cheese on each slice of squash.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the Parmesan melts and turns a light golden brown. (Watch these closely the first time you make them and pull them out of the oven early if the Parmesan is golden before 15 minutes. Alternatively, you may broil them for a minute or two at the end of the cooking time to speed up the browning.) Serve immediately.

Annelle Colevins on 2026-06-25 (5 stars): I just made these using zephyr squash. It was fantastic. I ate the whole pan myself. Thanks to someone who mentioned adding slices of onions. I suggest turning the pan halfway through cooking. The ends were a little thicker than the rest of the slices and came out sweet, reminding me of butternut squash.
Angela on 2026-06-25 (5 stars): One of those "why didn't I think of that?!" recipes. Could not be easier to make and delicious! My kids didn't like it, but still 5 stars because that's not the recipe's fault. I have yellow squash growing in my garden so I was happy to find a new yummy and fast way to prepare it. Some of my pieces were thinner and I liked those a bit more, so I'll try to go for thin slices when I make it again.
Midge on 2026-05-23 (5 stars): I love this recipe and make it almost weekly. We enjoy eating vegetables way more now. I've added half sliced zucchini and sliced onion - delicious! Now I'm sharing this recipe with family and friends.
Cindy Black on 2026-01-25 (5 stars): I used a little Cajun seasoning and added shredded Italian mix cheeses and shredded Parmesan. Yummy!!!
Wendy on 2026-01-15 (5 stars): Loved it!!!
Maggie on 2026-01-14 (5 stars): Simple, quick and delicious! I'll definitely make this recipe again.
Kris on 2025-09-05 (5 stars): This was not hard to navigate, find times or temp or anything. Clearly a USER / READER error!! Much easier to be kind and ask questions then to be so rude. Unreal, never seen such a rude response on a recipe that was written so clearly.
PS... this was delish, easy to make, easy to understand, again... EASY and YUMMY!!!
Donna on 2025-08-21 (5 stars): We love this recipe!
How can we make it crispy?
slice thinner?
almost burn them?
We want a chip consistency for dipping :)
