Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 lb zucchini, sliced 1/2 inch thick
  • 1 lb yellow squash, sliced 1/2 inch thick

Seasonings

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) to prepare for roasting the vegetables.
  2. Season Vegetables: In a large bowl, drizzle the sliced zucchini and yellow squash with olive oil. Sprinkle Italian seasoning, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper over them. Toss well to evenly coat the slices with the oils and spices.
  3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned zucchini and squash in a single layer on a large baking sheet. For easier cleanup, line the sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with cooking spray.
  4. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the vegetables for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they become tender when pierced with a fork.
  5. Optional Broiling: For a more browned and caramelized exterior, switch the oven to broil and cook the vegetables for an additional 3 to 6 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.

Notes

  • Use fresh, firm zucchini and squash for the best texture.
  • Slicing vegetables evenly ensures they cook uniformly.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste—add more garlic powder or Italian seasoning if desired.
  • Broiling is optional but adds extra color and flavor.
  • Serve as a side dish with grilled meats, pasta, or as a topping on salads.
