Place a large rimmed baking sheet on upper-third oven rack; preheat to 450°F.
Combine sliced squash, 2 tablespoons oil, 1½ teaspoons onion powder, 1 teaspoon oregano and ½ teaspoon pepper in a large bowl; toss well to coat. Carefully transfer to the preheated baking sheet; spread in an even layer. Roast until starting to become tender-crisp, about 3 minutes.

Increase oven temperature to broil. Broil the squash until the cheese mixture is browned and melted, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with ⅛ teaspoon salt and drizzle with 1 tablespoon hot honey. Garnish with torn basil, if desired.
