1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 1/2 lbs summer squash or 1 1/2 lbs zucchini, cut in rounds

This dish is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think it would be great served with a side of sour cream or yogurt to help cool it down.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my squash turned out mushy. I think I may have cooked it for too long.
