Oven Roasted Zucchini

Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 60 MinTotal time: 1 H & 10 M

This is one of my all time favorite ways to eat zucchini. Once the zucchini starts coming out of the garden in the summer, I make this almost daily. It couldn't be easier, fresh garden zucchini, avocado oil, and a few simple seasonings roasted until tender and golden around the edges.

Ingredients

• 3–4 medium fresh zucchini
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ½ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper, or to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
2. Wash and dry the zucchini. Trim off the ends and slice each zucchini lengthwise, then cut the long pieces into manageable spears or wedges if needed.
3. Arrange the zucchini on the parchment-lined sheet pan.
4. Drizzle with avocado oil and toss until lightly coated.
5. Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss again to evenly distribute the seasonings.
6. Arrange the zucchini in a single layer, leaving a little room between the pieces. This helps them roast instead of steam.
7. Roast at 425°F for 20–25 minutes, turning once if desired, until tender and lightly golden around the edges.
8. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

Don't overthink this one. This is truly one of the simplest things I make, and it's also one of my favorites. During zucchini season, when we're bringing fresh zucchini in from the garden, I make this almost every day.

You can also change up the seasonings depending on what you're serving it with. The avocado oil, salt, pepper, and a few simple spices are really all fresh garden zucchini needs.
