Description

Thinly sliced zucchini and squash roasted until tender at the edges, fragrant with garlic and thyme, offering a warm bite that’s both savory and bright.


Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 2 medium summer squash
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Slice zucchini and summer squash into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  3. Mince garlic cloves.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme.
  5. Add squash slices to the bowl and toss until evenly coated.
  6. Arrange slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  7. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until edges are golden and tender.
  8. Remove from oven and transfer to a serving platter.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the squash before roasting.
  • You can substitute fresh rosemary or basil for thyme to change the flavor profile.
  • Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure even roasting and crisp edges.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
