Enjoy this vegetarian delight, Roasted Pattypan with Tomatoes and Basil Appetizer Recipe, that takes its cue from the Italian classic Bruschetta.

Roasted Pattypan with Tomatoes and Basil Appetizer Recipe - Plated Pattypan Squash

I love creating low-cal, healthy recipes for my friends and family. Maybe that’s why I love this take on the Italian favorite: Bruschetta.

The “bread” is actually sliced pattypan squash that is oven-roasted and served with garden fresh tomato chunks, sprinkled with basil.

It’s one of the easiest veggie recipes I know of and one that can be assembled in no time at all.

The secret to this recipe’s success is the “flavored” olive oil that is brushed on the squash prior to baking. And, combined with fresh tomatoes and basil, you’ll be head over heel with just how delish this appetizer really is.

How to Make Roasted Pattypan with Tomatoes and Basil Appetizer Recipe

Carefully slice the pattypan squash with either a mandolin or a knife. The slices should be between 1/8 and 1/4 inch thick.

That’s why I like to use a mandolin. It makes the job so easy with no fuss.

Place the pattypan slices on a Silpat or parchment-lined baking sheet.

Heat olive oil with a pinch of pepper flakes and chopped garlic. Be careful not to overheat the oil or else the garlic will burn.

Brush the olive oil on each slice, then place in a preheated 400 degree F oven and bake for approximately 10-15 minutes. Once tender, remove and let cool.

While the pattypan is baking, cut, seed and dice tomatoes. Place in a bowl and set aside.
