Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 2 medium Yellow squash
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Wash and dry the zucchini and yellow squash. Trim off the ends and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini and yellow squash slices with olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned zucchini and yellow squash in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring that the slices do not overlap for even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 18-20 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and lightly golden around the edges.
If desired, sprinkle the roasted vegetables with Parmesan cheese during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking and return them to the oven just until the cheese melts.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the roasted zucchini and yellow squash to a serving dish. Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on their own!
