If you have a large enough sheet pan to spread the squash in a single layer, use that pan and ignore the instructions to cook in batches. Repeat this roasting process with the remaining squash, in two additional batches. Transfer cooked squash to another large bowl.Roast in the oven until tender, stirring once, about 12-15 minutes. Spread one third of the mixture on the preheated baking pan in a single layer.

In a large bowl, toss squash with 3 Tbsp olive oil, 1 ½ tsp salt, and 1 ½ tsp black pepper.

Put oven rack in lower third of oven and put a large baking sheet on the rack, then preheat to 475☏.

It’s a casserole that works year round, but is truly ideal when you are getting the freshest green beans and yellow squash that you possibly can while they’re in season in your area. You bake all of this together, topped with the breadcrumbs that get extra toasted in the oven to provide a thin layer of crunch to go with the creamy, soft squash, and the light bite that remains in the green beans after cooking them. Then you make golden toasted breadcrumbs, and a thickened sauce flavored with sour cream that isn’t too weighed down like other cream sauces tend to be. You start by roasting the vegetables lightly, since they will finish cooking while the casserole bakes later.

This casserole is the newest recipe that I have tried as part of this endeavor, and I have to tell you, it is so creamy and flavorful that my mouth starts to water just thinking about it. In fact, if you’re interested in growing your own, I recommend reading up on growing your own green beans and summer squash at our sister site, Gardener’s Path.

Thankfully, they’ve been growing pretty easily and I am trying to find new and unique ways to use them a few times a week, at the very least. Two of our favorite vegetables to grow have been green beans and squash. It’s quite a joy for me to indulge in night after night, as the summer plods along. But I am happy to say, I can now experience the brightness of fresh vegetables harvested right from my backyard. I still refuse to touch the garden, for fear that I will kill everything with the slightest glance. That is, until my husband and I bought a house and he decided to pull together a garden himself. That was the one trait my mother did not pass down to me, so I tend to avoid gardening every year. I don’t know about you, but I am not one that is blessed with a green thumb, as much as I wish I had one. Of course, I’ve sauteed the vegetables together before, but this is my new favorite way to devour them in one bite. I didn’t realize just how well green beans and yellow squash go together until I tried the combination in this side dish recipe. It is a lighter version that highlights the freshness of the vegetables while still being creamy, with a crunchy topping that isn’t the least bit greasy like those fried onions tend to be. The truth is, this dish is not simply a replica that heavy green bean casserole that you know and love (or if you are like me, kind of loathe…) made with fresh ingredients. I know you might be thinking, “Oh, that casserole is probably way too heavy for summer… Why is she bringing that recipe out now?” Well, that classic recipe just got a facelift, in time to celebrate all those fresh green beans and yellow squash you are currently growing in your summer garden, and that are calling to you from bins and baskets at the local market. You know that green bean casserole that is always brought out at Thanksgiving? The one that is made with condensed soup and topped with fried onions (and is honestly getting a wee bit dated in my book…)?
