Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the zucchinis thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Slice the zucchinis into half-inch thick rounds or diagonal cuts for a more elegant appearance.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, olive oil, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Toss until the zucchini slices are evenly coated.
Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the zucchini for 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
While the zucchini roasts, finely chop the fresh parsley.
After the zucchini is roasted to a golden brown and tender, remove the baking sheet from the oven.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the roasted zucchini slices and sprinkle with the freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately as a side dish or a healthy snack.
