Ingredients

• 4 medium zucchini
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Wash the zucchinis under cold water. Trim the ends, then slice each zucchini in half lengthwise, and cut them into 1/2-inch thick half-moons.

Step 3

Place the sliced zucchini into a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano.

Step 4

Toss the zucchini thoroughly to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.

Step 5

Spread the zucchini slices out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are evenly spaced to roast properly.

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, remove the baking sheet and sprinkle the zucchini with grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 7

Return the zucchini to the oven and continue roasting for an additional 5 minutes, or until the Parmesan is melted and the zucchini is tender and lightly browned.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Transfer the roasted zucchini to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a delightful side dish to any main course.
