Baked Squash and Zucchini Spears

Baked Squash and Zucchini Spears. Yellow Squash and Zucchini cut into spears and baked to a soft perfection with a little bit of seasonings. Great side dish.

These are a perfect side dish that could compliment so many main dishes. I made these with my Chicken Casserole with Stuffing (not posted just yet). Should be by the time you read this though.

Is “green squash” a zucchini?

Yes, they are the same thing. All Zucchini are squash, but not all squash are zucchini.

Do you peel zucchini before cooking?

If there is a wax on the skin, to extend it’s shelf life, then yes, peel the skin. Other than that, it’s a personal preference.

Can cooked squash be frozen?

You can freeze squash. Go to “Pick Your Own” and check out their step-by-step guide. They cover every step of the way!

What’s in my Baked Squash and Zucchini Spears?

• Yellow Squash
• Zucchini
• Avocado Oil
• Salt
• Pepper
• Onion Powder (can substitute with garlic powder)
• Parsley

These don’t float your boat?

Try my Sauteed Squash or maybe the Squash Casserole. Both are amazing!
