Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 medium Zucchini fresh and seasonal for the best flavor
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil adds richness and aids in browning
  • 1 teaspoon Salt enhances the zucchini’s natural flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper adds a hint of spiciness
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder brings depth to the taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and dry the zucchini thoroughly.
  3. Trim the ends off the zucchini and slice them into rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss until evenly coated.
Cooking
  1. Spread the zucchini out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  2. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
  3. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and lightly golden on the edges.
Serving
  1. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the zucchini to cool slightly.
  2. Transfer the roasted zucchini to a serving platter.
  3. Enjoy warm as a side dish or incorporate it into your favorite recipes!

Notes

Cut the zucchini into similar sizes for even cooking, and avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to achieve perfect roasted texture. Consider adding herbs for enhanced flavor.
