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
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Place the vegetables on the pan and drizzle with the olive oil. Toss to coat the vegetables with the oil.
- Sprinkle the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper on top of the vegetables in an even layer.
- 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.
