Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables. Cut the squash into thin coins. On the cutting board, coat with 1 tbsp olive oil, season with salt & pepper, red pepper flakes.
Arrange in a baking dish... neatly or not- your choice!
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cornmeal, parmesan, chopped rosemary, zest and juice of the lemon, salt & pepper and 1 tbsp olive oil. Combine with a fork until mixture is a sandy consistency.
