Farm to Table with Summer Squash

Summer squash must be in abundance at our farm. Our share this week had 8! My first thought was to grill them, but then I came across a recipe to bake them with breadcrumbs. It made a great side for chicken on the grill.

8 summer squash (such as yellow crookneck squash or pattypan squash)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup bread crumbs
1/3 cup grated cheese (I used Romano)
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons oregano

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Remove stem ends and slice squash cross-wise in 1/4"-thick rounds and toss with olive oil.

In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs, cheese, oregano and pepper.

Arrange the squash rounds in bottom of a  baking dish and sprinkle with the bread crumb mixture.

Cover baking dish with foil and bake in oven for 30 minutes or until tender.

Remove foil and bake another five minutes.
