Something different as a side dish. I also eat them for breakfast.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

When wondering what to make with summer squash, this Parmesan-crusted summer squash recipe is perfect. It can be a vegetable side dish, appetizer, or snack. The breading on slices of summer squash makes each chip crunchy. Inside, though, the summer squash is tender. Use yellow squash, green zucchini, or a combination of both. These are delicious!
