Summer Squash with Garlic in 25 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Slice the summer squash into halves lengthwise, then cut those halves into quarters to create spears.
3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the squash spears and onion wedges with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
4. Arrange the vegetables on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring pieces are not touching to prevent steaming.
5. Roast for 15-18 minutes until the edges turn a deep mahogany color and the squash shrinks slightly.
6. Remove the pan from the oven and drizzle the melted butter and minced garlic directly over the hot vegetables, tossing gently to coat.
7. Return the pan to the oven for 2-3 minutes to fragrance the garlic without burning it.
8. Remove from heat and immediately garnish with chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.
