When it comes to roasted veggies, zucchini is one of our favorites. First of all, it's FAST! (No shade, roasted beets.) Zucchini gets tender in no time at all, so make sure to start checking them early to ensure they're not turning to complete mush.

Secondly, it's versatile! Feel free to swap in your favorite spices and herbs or keep it simple with salt and pepper. Roasted zucchini is basically a blank canvas for your favorite savory flavors, so don't shy away from your faves.
