What temperature should I roast yellow squash at?

Roast yellow squash at 400°F (200°C). This high heat ensures the squash caramelizes properly, developing golden-brown edges and a concentrated sweet, nutty flavor, rather than steaming and becoming mushy.

How long does it take to roast yellow squash?

Roast yellow squash for about 25 minutes, stirring the pieces halfway through. The squash is done when it is tender and has golden, crisp edges. For best results, spread the slices in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even cooking.

Can you freeze roasted yellow squash?

Yes, you can freeze roasted yellow squash. Allow it to cool completely, then store it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and then warm it in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes.

Why is my roasted yellow squash mushy and not crispy?

Mushy roasted yellow squash is almost always caused by overcrowding the baking sheet. When the squash pieces overlap, they steam instead of roast. Always spread the squash in a single layer with space between each piece, and ensure your oven is fully preheated to 400°F (200°C) before roasting.
