Balsamic Yellow Squash Bake is an absolutely delightful recipe! If you’re a yellow squash lover you will love this tasty side dish. Yellow squash, leeks, red onions, red bell peppers and garlic are seasoned with fresh parsley, basil and thyme. Then the dish is sprinkled with salt and pepper, balsamic vinegar and olive oil before baking. Wow! The flavors are simply sensational.

I had a bunch of yellow squash in the refrigerator that I needed to use up and concocted this delicious casserole on the fly one night for dinner. The balsamic vinegar and olive oil absolutely make this dish. I’ve had balsamic vinegar in salads before, but never over cooked veggies. It was terrific.

If you’re looking for a great recipe to use up yellow squash, then give this savory recipe a try. You won’t be disappointed. Balsamic Yellow Squash Bake is healthy, low calorie, gluten free and vegan. It also tastes superbly. I highly recommend it for Thanksgiving, Christmas or other holiday dinners when you want lighter fare. It’s nice to have something light in addition to all the other heavy casseroles you’re making. It’s also the perfect side dish for any kind of entree.

I initially posted this recipe in December 2013. I realized when I was going back through the recipe that the pictures were of very poor quality. I recently remade the recipe (March 2019) to take a few new pictures. I served it with Baked Chicken Bruschetta, Seasoned Mashed Potatoes and Raisin Spice Bars. It really is a wonderful accompaniment for almost any main dish entree.
