Roasted Summer Squash ~ Fresh Mint, Lemon and Ginger




'Tis the season for bright yellow and green squash. I aim to take full advantage of it. It's so good for you too. It has been linked to increasing collagen in the skin and preventing wrinkles. It can also prevent overeating. So grab some squash before it's all gone and whip up this easy, tasty dish.

Roasting squash brings out its mellow sweetness. Pairing it with lemon, ginger, scallions and mint gives it a fresh and flavorful kick. It's a good side dish for  chicken or fish. Toss it into cooked quinoa and sprinkle with feta for a vegetarian lunch or a light dinner.
