Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • 1 pound zucchini, cut into 2-inch strips

  • 1 ½ tablespoons grapeseed oil

  • 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 pinch garlic powder

  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper

  • cooking spray

  • ½ lemon

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

  • 1 pinch sea salt flakes to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven to heat up.

  2. Place zucchini in a bowl. Add oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne; toss to coat.

  3. Carefully remove the hot baking sheet and spray lightly with cooking spray. Spread out zucchini in an even layer.

  4. Roast in the preheated oven until browned, turning halfway, about 20 minutes. Squeeze lemon juice on top and garnish with parsley. Sprinkle sea salt on top.

Cook’s Note

Avoid overcrowding the zucchini or it will steam, not brown.

If you double or triple this recipe, use a second baking sheet.
