When zucchini season hits, it seems like everyone has more than they know what to do with. I love turning to this simple roasted recipe because it brings out the natural sweetness of the squash without any fuss. It is a staple in my kitchen all summer long.

My best advice is to cut your zucchini into uniform pieces so they all roast at the same rate. If you want a little extra crunch, you can broil the pan for the last two minutes of cooking to get the cheese nice and golden brown.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. 2

    Place the zucchini slices in a large mixing bowl and drizzle them with the olive oil.

  3. 3

    Add the garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then toss everything together until the zucchini is well coated.

  4. 4

    Arrange the slices in a single layer on a large baking sheet.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the zucchini.

  6. 6

    Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is lightly browned.

  7. 7

    Garnish with fresh parsley before serving while hot.

💡 Tips

These are best served fresh right out of the oven. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days and reheat them in a toaster oven to keep the texture nice.
