Roasted Zucchini and Squash
Description
This recipe calls for uniformly diced zucchini and squash, seasoned with olive oil and a mix of Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Roasting at a high temperature allows the vegetables to cook through while developing a slight browning that enhances their natural sweetness and flavors.
The roasting process takes about 12-15 minutes, with a mid-cook stir to ensure even cooking and color. The finished vegetables can be served warm as a simple side dish, pairing well with meats, grains, or as part of a vegetable medley.
Storing leftovers in an airtight container keeps them fresh for 3-4 days. Reheating gently helps maintain texture without overcooking. The straightforward seasoning highlights the produce's taste without overwhelming it.
Ingredients
- 2 zucchini (diced)
- 2 squash (diced)
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

- Cook for approximately 12-15 minutes (tossing the vegetables halfway through the cook time) until the vegetables are tender.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days to maintain freshness.
