1 teaspoon Garlic Powder

# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even cooking and a golden-brown finish.
02 -
Wash the yellow squash thoroughly and slice them into even rounds about half an inch thick for uniform cooking.
03 -
In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced squash with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well coated.

# Additional Notes:
01 -
Ensure your squash slices are uniform in thickness for even cooking.
02 -
Experiment with different cheese types like mozzarella or gouda for flavor variation.
03 -
Allow the dish to cool slightly before serving to help the cheese set.
04 -
Using fresh and seasonal squash yields the best flavor and texture.
05 -
Monitor the dish towards the end of baking to avoid over-browning.
