Description

Thin zucchini and squash rounds roast to tender, caramelized perfection, brightened with garlic, thyme, and olive oil. Each bite offers a crisp edge and soft, juicy center.


Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 2 medium yellow squash
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Wash zucchini and squash and slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  3. Place slices on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
  4. Sprinkle garlic powder salt pepper and dried thyme over the slices.
  5. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  6. Arrange in a single layer without overlapping.
  7. Roast for 20 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
  8. Remove from oven and serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute garlic powder with minced fresh garlic for a stronger flavor.
  • Add grated Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of roasting for a cheesy crust.
  • Fresh herbs like rosemary or basil can be used instead of dried thyme.
  • Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 3 days and can be reheated in a skillet.
