Our roasted summer squash and zucchini recipe is a healthy side dish and an easy way to incorporate vegetables at the dinner table without sacrificing flavor.
We grabbed fresh summer squash from Kent Meadows Farm, a small, local, family-owned farm in our community. They have a produce stand that we love to visit, stocked with a bunch of fresh fruit and vegetables. It got us thinking about all the great ways to incorporate healthy recipes into our soul food dishes!
Of course we love our collard greens with ham hocks or greens with smoked turkey, sweet potatoes, black-eyed peas, and corn, but my mom also used to make sautéed zucchini and yellow squash growing up.
Marrekus and I were talking, and discovered that both of our families cooked summer squash, though, neither one of us were huge fans as kids. Marrekus said his granddad, who was raised in the South, would cook it down in a skillet until it turned into a buttery-soft pulp lol.
Healthier versions of soul food recipes is all about lighter cooking like steaming, grilling, or roasting, and using healthier fats like olive oil. With mindful preparation, soul food can include many nutritious and good-for-you vegetable dishes like this roasted squash.
This recipe takes mere minutes of prep. Simply toss all the veggies on a sheet pan with olive oil and a bit of SPG (salt, pepper, and garlic). Another favorite way to make this roasted zucchini recipe is to add red onions and bell peppers.

Our roasted summer squash and zucchini recipe is a healthy side dish and an easy way to incorporate vegetables at the dinner table without sacrificing flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 medium yellow summer squash, cut into 1-inch half-moons
- 2 medium zucchini, cut into 1-inch half-moons
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt

- 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic (or garlic powder)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
