Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized zucchini
- 4 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash the zucchini thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel. Trim off the ends and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them or use a garlic press to crush them.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini slices, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the zucchini is evenly coated with the seasoning.
Spread the seasoned zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, flipping the zucchini halfway through cooking. The zucchini should be tender and slightly golden around the edges.
Remove the roasted zucchini from the oven. If desired, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
