Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and dry the zucchini. Trim the ends and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds or half-moons, as per your preference.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced zucchini with the olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried thyme.
Toss the zucchini well until all the slices are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Spread the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and golden brown. Flip the slices halfway through roasting to ensure even cooking.
Once roasted, remove the zucchini from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
Drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving, to enhance the flavors.
Serve immediately as a side dish to complement your paleo meals.
