Description
This Roasted Zucchini captures irresistible flavor with simple ingredients like zucchini, parmesan, and olive oil. Ideal for a healthy dinner or a comforting side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb zucchini
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2–1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 475℉. Use a large rimmed baking sheet, lightly greased with oil for roasting the zucchini.
- Wash and pat dry the zucchini. Trim the ends and slice into 1/4-1/2 inch thick pieces. For crunchier zucchini, slice thicker; for softer, slice thinner.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and seasonings. Mix until evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned zucchini on the baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring space between slices for even cooking.
- Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top of each zucchini slice.
- Roast in the oven for 20-24 minutes until reaching your desired doneness.
Notes
For extra crunch, slice zucchini thicker and roast less time.
Grease the baking sheet to prevent sticking instead of using parchment paper.
Adjust seasonings to taste for a more personalized flavor.
