Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchini
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 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 zucchini thoroughly under running water and pat dry with a clean towel.
Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves, adding them to the bowl with the zucchini.
Pour the olive oil over the zucchini and garlic and sprinkle with dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and ground black pepper.
Toss the zucchini slices until they are evenly coated with the oil and spice mixture.
Spread the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 12 minutes. After 12 minutes, use a spatula to flip the zucchini slices.
Continue roasting for an additional 8 minutes, or until the zucchini has golden-brown edges and is tender.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle the roasted zucchini with fresh lemon juice.
Mince the fresh parsley and sprinkle it on top of the zucchini for garnish before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own.
