It seems like this time of year I always have an abundance of yellow squash…and I don’t even have a garden! It’s always a good year for squash I guess ;). Don’t get me wrong, I’m thankful everyone wants to share. I love squash any way you fix it, however Jordan really prefers it fried (He thinks everything is better fried haha). I’m not much of a fryer, but this oven “fried” squash will give you all the same flavor without all the work. Who wants to stand over the hot stove?? Not me =). I’m a true southerner so I like a little sugar on my squash, but you could easily omit this if you prefer. I could make a meal out of this squash! I’m not even joking. It’s that good. You’ll definitely want to give this recipe a try. Enjoy!
