Zucchini is pretty high up on my list of favorite vegetables. How can you not like a vegetable that is equally delicious as a side dish and as a main component of a dessert?

I also love that you can easily sauté it or roast it. Or eat it raw, though that’s not my favorite.

Things to help you make ROASTED ZUCCHINI:

This particular batch was served with the Crock Pot Honey Bourbon Chicken and brown rice.

HOW DO I ROAST ZUCCHINI IN THE OVEN?

It’s SO easy! Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Wash your zucchini, chop it into half moons, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with your favorite seasonings (I’m a huge fan of lemon pepper), then spread it into an even layer on your baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes. I like to flip it and give it another 5 minutes, but that is up to you and how crisp you like your roasted veggies.

WHAT OTHER VEGETABLES CAN YOU ROAST?

I like to roast almost all of my veggies but here are some ideas and other variations:

    Our family absolutely loves this! I use a seasoning salt instead of lemon pepper though

    Easy and delicious way to prepare zucchini. I served it up alongside your incredible slow cooker bourbon chicken recipe and it was a delicious meal. I will be making both again soon.

    Wow – fantastic. I love zucchini – but have never thought to roast it. Thanks so much for posting this recipe. Love the idea of using Lemon Pepper.
