We have only one word for this recipe: magical. As the vegetables roast in the oven, the fennel develops sweet, caramel flavors and the summer squash is infused with the garlic. Serve it with grilled pork chops or chicken.

Step 2
Quarter squash lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Combine the squash with sliced fennel, oil, thyme, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Spread the mixture evenly on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 10 minutes. Stir in garlic and roast until the vegetables are tender and the fennel is beginning to brown, about 5 minutes more. Stir in fennel fronds and serve.

Tips

Cut Down on Dishes: A rimmed baking sheet is great for everything from roasting to catching accidental drips and spills. For effortless cleanup and to keep your baking sheets in tip-top shape, line them with a layer of foil before each use.

Oh yum. Had tarragon and used it instead of thyme. Also had 1 summer and 1 zucchini squash. It was really, really good. And easy to make! Pros: Easy, flavorful, healthy

Pretty, but tastes odd I am a squash lover, but this was quite an odd dish for me and my family. The thyme was overpowering, perhaps with another spice? We're adventurous eaters, but this was not for us. Pros: Beautiful on the table, and easy to prepare Cons: Tastes funky
