    Garlic Roasted Baby Squashes | The Good Hearted Woman

    Costco has bags of darling little baby squashes right now, and I just couldn't resist grabbing up a bag!

    These roasted baby squashes are so easy to prepare, and the end result is deliciously tender and sweet, making them a great side for just about anything. (Check our Side Dish Recipes page for more great ideas!) 

    This roasting method will work just as well with larger summer squashes - you just need to cut them up into bite-sized pieces.

      How did I miss this post earlier?? Thank you for redirecting me back here! I will definitely try this with my JUNE HARVEST (waaay too early) of zucchini and patty pans (they're already bigger than the baby variety from Costco) ... but not this weekend. With temps soaring to 100+ I don't want to do anything to heat up my kitchen. I might however, try to put a tray on the grill outside! I'll keep you posted!

      Little baby squashes always remind me of my mom. That was one of her "go to" dishes growing up and every time I cook them I'm reminder of her. She always sauteed them, but roasting them sounds a little less oily! Thank for sharing 🙂

      Loved the grammar lesson! I definitely didn't know that was the case! And I love how easy this looks. Some days I really don't want to have to peel and chop a bunch of veggies, so that is perfect.

      I noticed you didn't bother taking the stems off the fresh herbs. I never thought to just throw the herbs in the dish, stems and all. I'm assuming it works out great and tastes fantastic.

      Heh, these mini squashes are so cute! Plus, so much more appealing since I don't have to fight as hard to eat them since they are already small so need less cutting before roasting!

      They're adorable! It would be fun to make a kids' meal with all mini food: tiny squashes (or squash, haha!), baby peppers, a little pizza made on an English muffin, etc.

      Sounds delicious and simple! My parents grow lots of squash, this would be good for them when their crop overflows and we get some!
