This roasted zucchini recipe is simple, healthy, and perfect for summer dinners. With caramelized edges and tender centers, it’s a versatile dish that pairs well with any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium-sized fresh zucchini
  • 1 medium-sized yellow squash
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and dry the zucchini and squash. Slice them into even rounds or half-moons, about 1/4-inch thick.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the zucchini slices, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the zucchini in a single layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
  5. Roast for 15 minutes, then flip the zucchini using a spatula or tongs. Roast for another 10-15 minutes until golden brown and tender.
  6. Optional: Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of roasting for a gooey, golden finish.
  7. Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy hot, warm, or at room temperature.

Notes

Ensure even slicing and avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to achieve perfectly roasted zucchini. Experiment with different herbs and spices for unique flavor variations.
