1 medium zucchini, cut into large bite size chunks
1 medium yellow squash, cut into large bite size chunks
1 medium onion, halved and cut into bite size slices
1/2 lb button mushroom, halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Tips:

  • Choose a variety of squashes: Use a mix of hard and soft squashes for a variety of textures and flavors. Some good options include butternut squash, acorn squash, kabocha squash, and delicata squash.
  • Roast the squashes: Roasting the squashes brings out their natural sweetness and caramelizes the edges. You can roast the squashes whole or cut them into cubes or slices.
  • Use a flavorful oil: Olive oil, avocado oil, or walnut oil are all good choices for roasting squashes. The oil will help to coat the squashes and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Season the squashes: Before roasting, season the squashes with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Roast until tender: The squashes are done roasting when they are tender when pierced with a fork. The roasting time will vary depending on the type of squash and how it is cut.
  • Serve immediately: Roasted squashes are best served immediately, while they are still warm and tender. You can enjoy them on their own or use them as a side dish or in a soup or salad.

Conclusion:

Roasted squash medley is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is a great way to use up seasonal squashes and is a healthy and flavorful addition to any meal.
