u003cstrongu003eHow Thick Should You Cut Zucchini and Squash for Roasting?u003c/strongu003e
I prefer to cut my summer squash about ½-inch thick for roasting. This will help prevent the squash from getting overcooked when roasted. Since summer squash is a fast-cooking vegetable, it is easy to overcook it. Thicker pieces will do better than thinner pieces when cooked.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Roasted zucchini and squash do not freeze well.

Keep the vegetables in a single layer on the pan when roasting. This prevents them from steaming, which causes them to get soggy. Using convection will also help more air circulate, making for really good roasted veggies!
