3 Ways to Bake Ronde de Nice Squash

I like easy recipes. If you've seen my previous recipes you've probably noticed that they contain easy to find ingredients and homegrown produce.

With the garden here in full swing, we stay pretty busy so this is a nice, quick meal (or side dish). If you aren't growing Ronde de Nice Squash, you can substitute Round Zucchini, Tatume, Rampicante or even a larger zucchini to give you nice "rounds."

 

I love using Ronde de Nice because I can harvest it tiny or let it grow a bit larger. These are about the size of a baseball. From seed to harvest, Ronde de Nice squash is ready in as few as 55 days.
