Preparation Steps

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
Create coating stations with flour, beaten eggs, and the breadcrumb mixture.
Pat the yellow squash slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Coat each slice first in flour, then in eggs, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture.
Arrange the coated squash slices in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Lightly spray tops with cooking spray and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Once golden, sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese while hot.
