Democracy Dies in DarknesscourseSideNo ratings yetStart CookingComment on this storyAdd to your saved recipes

For this recipe, use the small summer squash (finger size to 1 inch across at the thickest point) that are available now at farmers markets and at outlets that sell local produce. These young ones are tender and have a wonderful flavor that squash seem to lose as they grow larger.

The dish is good either warm or at room temperature, so it is a good choice for summer buffets.

Directions

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Have ready a large rimmed baking sheet. Toss the squash in a large mixing bowl with the olive oil to coat well; season with salt and pepper to taste. Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes, then use a spatula to turn over the squash. Return to the oven and roast for 30 to 35 minutes, until the squash can be easily pierced with a fork and are lightly browned on at least one side.

  • Step 2

    Transfer to a serving bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of the chopped herb mixture. Taste and add more of the chopped herbs as needed. Serve warm or at room temperature.
