Ingredients

• 3 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
• 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
• 2 summer squash
• 0.25 cup olive oil

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Step 2

Cut each squash in half lengthwise. Cut the halves in half crosswise to make four pieces. Then cut each piece in quarters lengthwise making a total of 16 short spears from each squash.

Step 3

Place squash spears into a large bowl. Add olive oil and garlic, then toss squash to coat. Arrange squash in a shallow baking dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Roast in the preheated oven until squash and garlic start to brown, 5 to 10 minutes, checking squash after 5 minutes and again in intervals of 2 or 3 minutes to avoid burning.
