Simple Roasted Zucchini

Roasting is one of the simplest ways to prepare fresh summer zucchini. A little olive oil, salt, and pepper is all you need to bring out its delicate flavor while giving the edges a light golden color. Serve this easy side dish alongside grilled or roasted chicken, fish, or other summer meals. You can also change the seasonings depending on what you are serving—try adding garlic, Italian herbs, smoked paprika, za'atar, or your favorite spice blend before roasting, then finish with fresh herbs, lemon juice, or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, depending on your dietary needs.
