Roasted zucchini is one of my favorite ways to use up a garden harvest. It comes out tender in the middle with a nice browned edge, and the parmesan cheese adds the perfect salty finish that everyone in the family seems to love.

My top tip for the best texture is to make sure you do not overcrowd your baking sheet. If the pieces are spread out with plenty of room, they will roast nicely rather than steaming in their own juices.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half moons
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. 2

    Place the sliced zucchini on a large rimmed baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Drizzle the olive oil over the zucchini and sprinkle with the garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  4. 4

    Toss everything together until the zucchini slices are evenly coated.

  5. 5

    Spread the zucchini into a single layer and sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the top.

  6. 6

    Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is golden brown.

  7. 7

    Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can reheat them in a toaster oven to bring back some of the crispiness. These also taste great tossed cold into a lunch salad.
