Description

Oven Roasted Zucchini Chunks are a quick, healthy, and delicious way to enjoy fresh zucchini. Seasoned with garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper, then roasted until golden and crisp-tender, this simple side dish is perfect for any meal or as a satisfying veggie snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium zucchinis, washed and cut into chunks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the zucchini chunks with olive oil, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper until well coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned zucchini in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the zucchini is tender and the edges are golden brown.
  5. Remove from the oven and serve immediately as a side dish or snack.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
  • Try adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
  • Mix up the flavor by using Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, or chili flakes.
