Oven roasted zucchini is an easy, flavorful side dish to make with all that extra garden zucchini. Thick sliced zucchini is tossed in olive oil and Italian herbs, then roasted until tender.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a sheet pan (or line with parchment paper) and set aside.
Slice zucchini into thick, ½ inch slices, pat dry on both sides, and transfer to a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
Pour zucchini onto prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer.
Bake for about 16-18 minutes, or until zucchini is cooked through to your liking.
Optionally, turn on the broiler during the last 2 to 3 minutes of cooking to add more color to the tops of your zucchini slices (do not walk away, broiler can brown veggies very quickly).
