Equipment you will use

Oven

Cut all squash and zucchini into thirds then cut each third into batons or sticks. Arrange them in a large roasting pan and coat them well with the oil. Frankly, the best way to do this is to pour the oil over and then smoosh everything about in the pan with your hands. Stick the pan in the oven and roast the squash for about 30 minutes, by which time the batons should be cooked through and golden at the edges.

When the squash batons are cool, put them in a bowl with the two beans and dress them with lemon juice; the squash should be sufficiently, and desirably, oily to need no extra drizzling here. Chop the basil and parsley and add them to the bowl, mixing everything gently (again, just hands is easiest) to avoid squashing the batons.
