Roasted Patty Pan Squash, Summer Vegetables & ‘Sausage’ Platter

The best part about summer is the produce. So many varieties to choose from, so many ways to cook them. One my favorite ways? Roasting vegetables and serving them with a side of creamy spicy tahini sauce.


I came across patty pan squash and I could not pass up on them. Something about their shape that catches my eye and entices me to buy them. There are a few ways to cook them but for simplicity sake, I decided to roast them with other summer vegetables.


Accompanying these roasted vegetables are pan fried @beyondmeat Hot Italian sausages and creamy spicy tahini sauce (see below for recipe). The combination was simply delightful and the other great thing about this platter? It is an awesome potluck party dish.
