Ingredients For Roasted Zucchini

Zucchini: Look for zucchini squash (sometimes named summer squash) that are firm and free of soft spots or tears in the skin. If you have one, a mandolin helps make perfectly uniform strips. If using larger garden zucchini with a tougher skin, the skin can be peeled before cutting.

Seasonings: Punch up the zucchini seasonings with extra garlic, garlic powder, black pepper, red pepper flakes, chili powder, or a homemade Italian seasoning.

Variations

  • Add other veggies like quartered mushrooms, chunks of red onions, carrot coins, or potatoes to the bowl in Step 2.
  • Add a sprinkling of parmesan cheese or feta near the end of the cooking time.
  • Omit the thyme and add other fresh herbs like basil, dill, cilantro, or parsley.

Storing Leftover Zucchini

Keep leftover roasted zucchini fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them under the broiler or in an air fryer.

Zucchini can be frozen, but once thawed, they will not be as firm. But you can add them to an egg roll in a bowl or a veggie stir fry.
