A simple and healthy recipe for roasted zucchini slices seasoned with garlic powder, dried herbs, salt, and olive oil. Perfect as a flavorful side dish or a light snack, this recipe enhances the natural sweetness and tenderness of zucchini with a quick roasting method that requires minimal ingredients and effort.

Ingredients

Zucchini Slices

  • 2 medium sized zucchinis

Seasoning

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried dill (or substitute dried thyme, dried basil, dried oregano, or any other dried herb you prefer)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the zucchini slices. This high temperature helps in achieving a nice golden color and a slightly crisp texture.
  2. Prepare the zucchini: Wash the zucchinis thoroughly and slice them into thin, even rounds about 1/4 inch thick to ensure even cooking.
  3. Season the zucchini: In a large bowl, toss the zucchini slices with the olive oil, garlic powder, dried dill, and salt evenly to coat all slices with the seasoning and oil.
  4. Arrange on baking sheet: Lay the seasoned zucchini slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup and preventing sticking.
  5. Roast the zucchini: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes until the zucchini is tender, slightly browned around the edges, and cooked through.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving as a warm side dish or snack. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute dried dill with other herbs like thyme, basil, or oregano according to your preference.
  • For extra crispiness, you can broil the slices for the last 1-2 minutes but watch carefully to avoid burning.
  • This dish pairs well with grilled meats or can be added to salads for extra flavor.
  • Use fresh zucchinis to ensure the best taste and texture.
