baby squash


On my last Costco trip I found these baby squash and just had to try them.  I've had them before at my best friend's wedding a couple years ago and they were amazing.  Now to figure out how to cook them to be amazing like those were.
My grandma used to always add carrots to zucchini & squash to help bring out the flavors better (and it does make a big difference)
And we had some asparagus that needed to be used as well.

Now for how to cook it- first I was leaning towards steaming them, but I wanted to get a little bit of carmelization on them for better flavor.  So oven roasting it was.

These were really easy- I just put them on a cookie sheet, poured some olive oil over them and ground some fresh salt & pepper on top.
Bake them at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes.

The verdict? My family liked the mini zucchini's but the round green and yellow ones (not sure what they're called) we weren't completely sold on.  I've heard some people say they put those into salads- maybe they just need to be used or prepared a different way.
