Expert Tips

Bottled lemon juice is readily available and perfect to keep on hand, but for this simple recipe, grab a few fresh lemons from the grocery store. The fresh juice flavors the vegetables wonderfully, and you’ll have enough left to make fresh lemonade.

If your zucchini harvest is bountiful, feel free to use one instead of the yellow squash. You’ll need about 1 1/2 cups of 1/4-inch slices.

    Very good if you like squash. I added one zucchini to the recipe and left out the onion. My wife and I liked it however our kids were not to excited. We all agreed that if you add come chicken this will make a excellent stir fry. I will try that with the left over's.

    I ate it. That's about all I can say for this. The biggest problem is that I didn't like the squash, so that's not the recipe's fault; however I did not feel the lemon seasoning was really effective in this dish. It doesn't help that the majority of my cooking is for weekday meals which only serve me: so that means I ate this five times as leftovers, and I don't think it did very well as a repeat dish. If you like squash, it is a decent vegetable dish. But the Oven-Roasted Vegetables recipe on this site is MUCH better (although not nearly as low-calorie, it is so much tastier to me).

    This is excellent as a side dish with just about anything. I''ve made it many times and often substitute whatever vegetables I have on hand (I really like carrots and brocolli in it!)
