Zesty Roasted Zucchini: Your New Favorite Side Dish

Learn how to make delicious Roasted Zucchini. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Let’s keep things simple and straightforward with ingredients you can easily find in your pantry or local grocery store. Here’s what you’ll need to create this delightful dish:

  • 4 medium zucchinis, sliced into rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, but highly recommended!)

If you’re out of Parmesan, don’t worry! You can sprinkle a bit of nutritional yeast for that cheesy flavor without the dairy. And if oregano isn’t your thing, basil or thyme would work beautifully here.

Instructions

Ready to get started? Here’s how you can make this delicious roasted zucchini:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced zucchinis with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Make sure each piece is well-coated.
  3. Spread the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even roasting.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and slightly golden around the edges. If you like it extra crispy, feel free to broil for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end.
  5. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese while still hot. The cheese will melt beautifully over the zucchini.

Remember, cooking is all about finding what works for you. If you like your zucchini with a bit of a bite, check it around the 15-minute mark. My kids love it when I add a sprinkle of cheese, and honestly, it takes me back to those cozy family dinners where comfort food reigns supreme.
