• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash the zucchinis thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Slice the zucchinis into half-inch thick rounds or diagonal cuts for a more elegant appearance.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, olive oil, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Toss until the zucchini slices are evenly coated.

Step 5

Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the zucchini for 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.

Step 7

While the zucchini roasts, finely chop the fresh parsley.

Step 8

After the zucchini is roasted to a golden brown and tender, remove the baking sheet from the oven.

Step 9

Drizzle the lemon juice over the roasted zucchini slices and sprinkle with the freshly chopped parsley.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a side dish or a healthy snack.
