Notes
Use the right knife: Squash can be tough to cut so make sure you're using a large sharp knife when slicing it.
Don't let them stick: Either grease the baking sheet well or use parchment paper or wax paper. If your squash slices stick, they're going to break when you try to remove them.
Extra cheesy: Spoon any extra parmesan mixture left in the bowl on top of the squash slices before baking (or add some more) to make them extra delicious!
Don't overcook it: Once the squash slices are tender, they're done. Overcooking the squash makes it mushy.
