Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with nonstick cooking spray.
Wash and dry the zucchini. Cut off the ends, then slice the zucchini lengthwise into quarters, or into ½-inch-thick rounds if you prefer.
Place the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the zucchini.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves, then sprinkle them over the zucchini.
Season the zucchini with dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper, ensuring even distribution of the seasonings.
Using your hands or a spatula, gently toss the zucchini on the baking sheet to evenly coat them with the oil, garlic, and seasonings. Spread them back into an even layer.
Roast the zucchini in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized around the edges. Check them halfway through the roasting time and flip or stir as needed for even cooking.
If desired, sprinkle the roasted zucchini with freshly grated parmesan cheese during the last 2 minutes of roasting to let it melt slightly.
Remove the zucchini from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy as a side dish or pair with your favorite main course!
