Ingredients
  

4 medium zucchinis, sliced into ½-inch rounds

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped (optional)

Grated Parmesan cheese (optional for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.

    Prepare the Zucchini: In a large bowl, combine the sliced zucchini with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, dried oregano, dried thyme, and minced garlic. Toss until the zucchini is evenly coated.

      Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned zucchini rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even roasting.

        Roast the Zucchini: Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the zucchini is tender and golden brown, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

          Add Fresh Herbs: Once roasted, remove the zucchini from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley and basil (if using). Toss gently to incorporate the herbs.

            Serve: Transfer the roasted zucchini to a serving platter. For an extra touch of flavor, you can garnish with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.

              Enjoy: Serve warm as a side dish or a light appetizer, savoring the delightful combination of roasted vegetables and fresh herbs!
