- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Za'atar spice blend
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash the zucchini thoroughly and slice them into thick rounds, approximately 1/2 inch in thickness.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, za'atar spice blend, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Add the sliced zucchini to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
Spread the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet without overcrowding them.
Roast the zucchini in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and the edges start to brown.
Remove the zucchini from the oven and transfer them to a serving plate.
Sprinkle the roasted zucchini with fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own!
