Ingredients

Scale

For the Roasted Vegetables:

  • 2 pounds zucchini, sliced lengthwise into quarters and cut into 3–4 inch segments
  • 1 pound cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

For Garnish:

  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Prepare the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine zucchini and cherry tomatoes. Add garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
  • Roast the Vegetables: Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes until the zucchini is tender and the tomatoes are slightly caramelized.
  • Add the Parmesan Cheese: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle shredded Parmesan cheese over the vegetables. Return to the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese melts and turns golden brown.
  • Garnish & Serve: Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley and fresh thyme. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • For Extra Crispiness: Broil for 2 minutes after adding Parmesan.
  • Make It Vegan: Swap Parmesan for nutritional yeast.
  • Storage Tip: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes to maintain texture.
