Ingredients:
2 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds
2 medium yellow squash, sliced into rounds
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Vegetables:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, yellow squash, and halved cherry tomatoes.
Add Flavorings:
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables. Add the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Roast the Vegetables:
Spread the vegetable mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This helps with even roasting and easy cleanup.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the zucchini and squash are tender and lightly golden.
Add Parmesan Cheese:
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the roasted vegetables. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve:
Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Serve warm as a delicious side dish!
Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, asparagus, or red onion for extra flavor and variety.
Make It Ahead: You can prepare the vegetable mixture ahead of time and roast it just before serving for a quick and easy side dish.
