Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized zucchini
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Wash and dry the zucchini. Cut off the ends, then slice the zucchini lengthwise into quarters, or into ½-inch-thick rounds if you prefer.

Step 3

Place the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the zucchini.

Step 5

Peel and mince the garlic cloves, then sprinkle them over the zucchini.

Step 6

Season the zucchini with dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper, ensuring even distribution of the seasonings.

Step 7

Using your hands or a spatula, gently toss the zucchini on the baking sheet to evenly coat them with the oil, garlic, and seasonings. Spread them back into an even layer.

Step 8

Roast the zucchini in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized around the edges. Check them halfway through the roasting time and flip or stir as needed for even cooking.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle the roasted zucchini with freshly grated parmesan cheese during the last 2 minutes of roasting to let it melt slightly.

Step 10

Remove the zucchini from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy as a side dish or pair with your favorite main course!
