Summer Love: Oven Roasted Summer Squash

This summer is the perfect time to eat local vegetables. How delicious does that sound? Not to mention, amazing for your body and health.

(If your wondering why its important to east seasonal vegetables check out this article from Gaiam Life. This should give you some insight.)

This summer, load up on SUMMER SQUASH. It's unique texture and flavor is so refreshing after a long, hot day. Today I made this oven roasted summer squash, and let me tell you...WOW! If you haven't tried thyme on summer squash yet, you've been missing out!



Ingredients:
Summer Squash
Thyme
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Grapeseed Oil (EVOO works too!)

Directions:
This is a pretty easy one! Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice your summer squash to your preference and place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Place your squash slices on the paper and lightly coat each slice with the oil. Next, light sprinkle your thyme, salt and pepper over the slices and your ready to go! Pop your squash in the oven for about 20 minutes and your done!
