To be honest, my patty pan dish was just "OK" - that is, until I tried a 2nd serving with grated Vermont Extra Sharp Cheese on top.
At first it lacked pizzaz. It lacked zing. It was quite bland. The only thing was, I knew it to be nutritious and worth the adjustment. Next time I'll sprinkle the grated cheese on top when baking and it will be tastier for sure!
Another thought I have is perhaps fried slices with an added sauce would be an alternative and not as labor intensive. That is, if I ever have the ambition again.For a closer view tap on image
Health Benefits of Pattypan Squash
These little guys have a lot going for them. Pattypan squash is an excellent source of manganese and vitamin C and a very good source of magnesium, vitamin A (notably through its concentration of carotenoids, including beta-carotene), fiber, potassium, folate, copper, riboflavin and phosphorus. All of pattypan's nutrients combine to form a heart healthy, disease-preventing food, not to mention extremely diet-friendly fare. The antioxidants in pattypan work to keep free radicals at bay while its high fiber content helps excrete toxins from the body. Pattypan also contains nutrients that combat inflammation.
