Notes

Expert Tips

Don't salt the zucchini before roasting. Very important!!
Use small-sized zucchini for best flavor and less seeds
Spray the baking sheet with cooking spray first to prevent the zucchini from sticking
Make sure the summer squash are spread out on the sheet and not touching. This helps the hot air circulate around the veggies so they brown instead of steam.

Alternative Seasonings

Here are some seasoning additions or substitutions to try:

Add a dash of cayenne pepper
Sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan cheese after roasting
Try fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil, thyme, tarragon, or chives
Squeeze a lemon wedge over baked zucchini
