Spicy Roasted Zucchini Recipe

Vegetables on the side: The Complete Guide to Buying and Cooking written by Sallie Williams is one of Barbara’s favorite cookbooks. Why? Because the cookbook has chapters based on each vegetable. She whips this cookbook out every summer when the garden is in full bounty.

Spicy Roasted Zucchini is a great way to use the endless zucchini that takes over her kitchen counters each summer. We all love zucchini bread (especially when it has chocolate chips in it) but you can only put so many loaves in the freezer.

Notes About Baked Zucchini:

• Swap out yellow squash for the zucchini or use a combination if desired for this easy baked zucchini recipe.
• The great thing about this recipe is that you can easily scale it up for a bigger crowd – just grab a larger baking sheet, an extra zucchini and a few more spices!
• So head out to the garden, stop by your local farmers market OR grab a couple zucchinis at the grocery store and make this for a side tonight!
• We are crazy for zucchini. Try Cheesy Zucchini Casserole, Zucchini Quiche, Zucchini Pie, Pan Fried Zucchini and Classic Zucchini bread to name a few.
