Description
Tender zucchini, yellow squash, and cherry tomatoes roasted with fresh garlic, Italian seasoning, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese until golden and flavorful.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 2 medium yellow squash, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and thoroughly dry the zucchini, yellow squash, and tomatoes.
- Slice the zucchini and yellow squash into even 1/4-inch rounds, halve the tomatoes, and mince the garlic.
- Place the zucchini, squash, and tomatoes in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Toss gently until the vegetables receive an even coating of oil and seasonings.
- Spread the vegetables in a single layer across the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between the pieces.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan evenly over the vegetables.
- Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, rotating the pan after about 12 minutes.
- Broil for 1 to 2 minutes when deeper browning is desired, watching closely.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the vegetables rest for 3 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Dry the vegetables thoroughly before roasting to support browning.
- Use a large metal baking sheet and avoid overcrowding the vegetables.
- Cut the zucchini and squash into even slices so they cook at the same rate.
- Add salt immediately before roasting rather than far in advance.
- For a crisper topping, mix the Parmesan with 2 tablespoons of panko breadcrumbs.
- Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat leftovers on a sheet pan at 375°F for 8 to 10 minutes.
