Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and dry the zucchini. Trim the ends and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds or half-moons, as per your preference.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced zucchini with the olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried thyme.
Step 4
Toss the zucchini well until all the slices are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Step 5
Spread the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap for even roasting.
Step 6
Roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and golden brown. Flip the slices halfway through roasting to ensure even cooking.
Step 7
Once roasted, remove the zucchini from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
Step 8
Drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving, to enhance the flavors.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a side dish to complement your paleo meals.
