Ingredients
Scale
3–4 Medium Fresh Zucchini
2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Dried Oregano
1/2 Teaspoon Onion Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Sea Salt
1/4 Teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C)
- Prep the Zucchini: Wash and dry the zucchini thoroughly. Trim the ends and cut them into 1/2-inch thick rounds or half-moons
- Season the Batch: Place the zucchini in a mixing bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper
- Arrange on the Pan: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the zucchini in a single layer without overlapping
- Roast to Perfection: Place in the oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning
- Final Char: Turn on the broiler for the last 2 minutes if desired, then remove from the oven and serve immediately
Notes
For crispy results, do not overcrowd the baking sheet.
Use a rimmed baking sheet for better air circulation.
If using leftovers, reheat in an air fryer or oven for best texture.
