Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized zucchini
- 4 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
Wash the zucchini thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel. Trim off the ends and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
Step 3
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them or use a garlic press to crush them.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini slices, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the zucchini is evenly coated with the seasoning.
Step 5
Spread the seasoned zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even roasting.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, flipping the zucchini halfway through cooking. The zucchini should be tender and slightly golden around the edges.
Step 7
Remove the roasted zucchini from the oven. If desired, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
Step 8
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
