Slice the zucchini and yellow squash into ¼-inch rounds. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
-
In a large mixing bowl, toss the zucchini, squash, and tomatoes with minced garlic, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese.

Season with salt and pepper, then toss again to coat the vegetables evenly.

Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through for even cooking. The veggies should be tender and lightly caramelized.

For a richer flavor, add shredded mozzarella or Gruyère cheese during the last 5 minutes of roasting.

Add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
-
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
