Can I use yellow squash instead of zucchini?

Absolutely! Yellow squash works wonderfully here. The roasting time might need a minute or two less since it's slightly more tender. I often make a mixed batch when both summer squashes are in season - the colors look stunning on the plate!

Is this roasted parmesan zucchini freezer-friendly?

Honestly? Not really. While you can freeze it, the texture becomes mushy when thawed. I recommend enjoying it fresh that day or refrigerating leftovers for up to 2 days. The crispy cheese crust just doesn't survive freezing well!

What other cheeses work instead of parmesan?

Pecorino Romano gives a similar salty kick, or try asiago for a milder flavor. My friend swears by gruyère for extra melty goodness! Just stick with hard, grateable cheeses - soft cheeses tend to make the zucchini soggy.

Can I make this keto roasted zucchini ahead?

You can prep the zucchini slices in advance (store them wrapped in paper towels in the fridge), but wait to roast until serving time for that perfect crisp texture. The actual roasting only takes 25 minutes though - so quick!
