-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or sheet pan.
-
Toss squash with olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
-
Arrange in a single layer (overlapping is fine, but don’t pile too much).
-
Top generously with Parmesan (and breadcrumbs if using).
-
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until squash is tender and the top is golden.
-
Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end if you want extra crispy cheese edges.
-
Finish with fresh herbs and serve warm.
