Ingredients for Baked Zucchini

Zucchini: Zucchini is one of my favorite veggies to plant in my garden. To choose the best ones, pick firm blemish-free zucchini. For this recipe pick small to medium-sized yellow or green zucchini.

Seasonings: Add flavor to this recipe with garlic, and store-bought Italian seasoning, or make a homemade version. For extra flavor, top them with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese (optional).

Variations

  • Swap out the Italian seasoning for lemon pepper seasoning, it adds a zesty flavor.
  • Top with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, like parsley, and lemon juice.
  • Try Greek seasoning for an earthy, savory flavor perfect for dipping in tzatziki.
  • Serve as zucchini rounds instead of sticks for a change in presentation.

How to Bake Zucchini

  1. Cut zucchini into strips. In a large bowl, toss them with seasonings, oil, lemon zest, and parmesan cheese (optional).
  2. Place in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Top with more cheese and bake.
  3. Broil for a few minutes until golden brown (recipe below).

Serve with steaks, burgers, chicken…or as a snack with marinara for dipping.

My Favorite Tips

  • The thicker the zucchini is cut, the crispier it will be.
  • Don’t overcook it or the zucchini may turn mushy.
  • Instead of oven-roasted zucchini, try this recipe on the grill. Add the cheese after it has cooked.
