These roasted zucchini slices are a simple side dish that pair well with a wide variety of main courses. They’re also delicious in sandwiches or as an addition to pasta dishes.
Ingredients and Substitutions
Fresh zucchini works best in this recipe, but you can substitute frozen zucchini if necessary.

I like to use extra virgin olive oil as the fat in this dish but you can substitute any other neutral oil you prefer.
This recipe calls for dried dill, but any other dried herb you prefer will work. Thyme, basil, or oregano are all good substitutes.
Step-by-Step Recipe Instructions
Start by preheating the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Next you’ll slice the zucchini into 1/3 inch thick rounds.

Place the zucchini slices on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, then sprinkle the garlic powder, dried dill, and salt on top. Drizzle the olive oil on top of the zucchini slices, then use your hands to toss the zucchini in the oil and spices, ensuring that each slice is coated in oil. Spread the zucchini slices in an even layer in the pan.
Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes (20 if you prefer a firmer texture and 25 if you prefer a softer texture). Serve hot or at room temperature.
Optional Addition
When the zucchini is finished roasting, sprinkle one tablespoon of finely chopped fresh herbs such as basil, parsley, or chives on top before serving.
