Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.

Slice the yellow squash into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Try to keep them uniform for even baking.

Arrange the squash rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, without overlapping.

Season each slice with a light sprinkle of salt and black pepper.

Top each round with a generous pinch of grated Parmesan cheese.

Optional: Drizzle or brush a little olive oil over the top for added flavor and crispiness.

Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbling, and lightly golden brown.

Remove from the oven and serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or cheesy side dish.

Enjoy—and maybe pair with your favorite dipping sauce like ranch, marinara, or garlic aioli!
