Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium zucchini
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- Wash and trim the ends off the zucchini. Cut the zucchini into half-inch thick rounds or sticks.
- In a large bowl, toss the cut zucchini with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning until evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned zucchini in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary to allow air circulation.
- Roast for 15 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the zucchini.
- Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is lightly golden brown and melted.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
Notes
- To prevent soggy zucchini, make sure the pieces are in a single layer on the baking sheet and do not overlap them.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the seasoning before roasting.
- This side dish pairs well with baked chicken or grilled fish.
