Ingredients

• 4 medium zucchini
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

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 zucchinis thoroughly. Cut off the ends and then slice each zucchini in half lengthwise. Slice each half into 1/4-inch thick half-moons.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced zucchini with the olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss until the zucchini is evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.

Step 4

Spread the zucchini slices out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded, which helps them roast properly instead of steaming.

Step 5

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and slightly golden brown at the edges. Flip the slices halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the zucchini from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.

Step 7

Drizzle the roasted zucchini with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 8

Serve immediately while hot as a vibrant, nutrient-filled side dish.
