Roasted Parmesan Zucchini With Everything Bagel Seasoning
This isn't your average roasted zucchini recipe. This tender zucchini is topped with crispy baked parmesan and everything bagel seasoning for extra garlicky goodness. It's so easy to make and impossible to stop picking at!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 large zucchini, or 3 small About 4 cups of bite-size pieces give or take
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 TBSP olive oil
- 1 TBSP Everything but the Bagel Seasoning
- 1/8 tsp cracked black pepper
- A pinch of sea salt, if necessary Everything but the Bagel Seasoning might be salty enough. Use your judgment.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450º F.
- Give your zucchini a good rinse and dry, then chop it up into bite-sized pieces. I like cutting mine on angles, but you can do clean 1/2-inch thick rounds if preferred.
- Transfer the chopped zucchini to a large mixing bowl. Smash and peel all 3 garlic cloves, and then with a microplane, grate the cloves over the zucchini. This gives you a nice garlic paste that distributes evenly throughout the zucchini.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the zucchini, then add 1/4 cup of grated parmesan, 1 tablespoon of Everything but the Bagel Seasoning, and a few cracks of black pepper.
- Toss well to evenly coat, then swipe your finger over a piece of zucchini and give it a taste. If it doesn’t seem salty enough, you can add a small pinch of sea salt.
- Dump the seasoned zucchini out onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Make sure the zucchini is spread out evenly, then pop it in the oven and bake for 10-12 mins or until the zucchini is tender and the parmesan cheese is melted and crispy!
Notes
If you're worried about the zucchini being watery or mushy, you can salt the zucchini prior to roasting. Just sprinkle the chopped zucchini with sea salt and let it sit for 15-30 minutes to draw out any excess moisture. Then rinse, pat dry, and proceed with the recipe.
*With high heat and roasting larger pieces, I don't find this step necessary, but it is something you can do.
