4.1 from 1 review

A versatile Patty Pan Squash recipe offering four delicious cooking methods: roasting, sautéing, grilling, and air frying. Each method brings out a unique flavor and texture, making it perfect for quick and healthy vegetable side dishes.

  • Total Time: 20-25 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 lb Patty pan squash (cut into pieces of the same size; halves, quarters, or wedges if larger)
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Roasted Pattypan Squash: Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Toss the squash with olive oil, salt, pepper, and seasoning in a large bowl. Arrange cut side down on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 15-20 minutes until tender and golden brown on the bottom, stirring halfway optionally for even browning.
  2. Sautéed Pattypan Squash: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add squash cut side down in a single layer, seasoning with salt, pepper, and spices. Sear undisturbed for 3-5 minutes until golden on bottom, then flip and sear the other side until golden. Work in batches as needed.
  3. Grilled Pattypan Squash: Preheat outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Toss squash with olive oil, salt, pepper, and seasonings. For outdoor grilling, use larger pieces to prevent falling through grates. Place cut side down on the grill in a single layer. Grill 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear, flip, and grill another 3-4 minutes until tender.
  4. Air Fryer Pattypan Squash: Toss squash with olive oil and seasonings. Place cut side down in a single layer in the air fryer basket, cooking in batches if necessary. Air fry at 400°F (204°C) for 10-12 minutes until crispy and golden.

Notes

  • Cut squash pieces uniformly for even cooking.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste; spices like Italian seasoning and garlic powder add great flavor.
  • When air frying or sautéing, cook in batches if pieces don’t fit in a single layer to ensure proper crisping.
  • Larger squash pieces work better for grilling to avoid falling through grates.
  • Optional: Stir during roasting halfway through for more even browning.
  • Pattypan squash cooks quickly; watch carefully to avoid overcooking.
