With simple ingredients like olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices, you can master seasoning techniques and cooking methods—roasting, pan-searing, or grilling—for perfectly crisp, tender zucchini every time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2–3 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1–2 cloves garlic or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian herbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika or chili flakes
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or zest
  • 1 cup sliced bell peppers (optional)

    • Instructions

    1. Wash and dry zucchini, then slice into 1/4–1/2 inch rounds or half-moons.

    2. Sprinkle zucchini slices with salt and let rest for 10–15 minutes to draw out moisture, then pat dry with paper towels.

    3. In a mixing bowl, toss zucchini with olive oil, garlic, black pepper, sea salt, Italian herbs, and paprika.

    4. Preheat oven to 425°F for roasting, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet for pan-searing, or preheat grill to medium-high heat.

    5. For roasting: arrange slices on a parchment-lined sheet and bake 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway.

    6. For pan-searing: cook slices in batches 2–3 minutes per side until golden.

    7. For grilling: brush slices with oil and grill 2–3 minutes per side until charred.

    8. Finish with fresh lemon juice or zest and serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to three days.
