Baked zucchini is the perfect side dish for just about any meal! Garden fresh zucchini is tossed with olive oil and herbs and topped with a pinch of parmesan cheese.

These baked zucchini rounds come out perfectly tender crisp with a golden parmesan cheese topping. We serve baked zucchini with steaks, burgers, chicken... or even to snack on on their own!

Zucchini is one of my favorite veggies to plant in my garden, it grows like crazy and we always have an abundance! I love to use it in both sweet recipes (like Zucchini Brownies or Zucchini Banana Bread) and in savory recipes like Easy Stuffed Zucchini Boats!

I have tried many baked zucchini recipes, but this one is so simple I would have to say it's my favorite! To make Baked Zucchini, I most often either grill or bake it with just seasonings and olive oil! While I suggest Italian seasonings, you can add in your favorite herbs and spices to change it up or to compliment your meal. The cheese (my favorite part) can be replaced with any cheese you like as well!

This baked zucchini recipe uses zucchini that is cut in 1/2″ rounds to allow the cheese to lightly brown while still keeping the zucchini tender crisp. If you prefer a softer zucchini, you can cut them thinner (or even cut them into sticks or wedges if you prefer)!

When making this Baked Zucchini recipe, everything can be prepared well in advance and when dinner is almost ready, just pop this in the oven for a few minutes.

How to Bake Zucchini

Zucchini is very easy to overcook, so it I always set a timer while it's roasting. The thicker you cut your zucchini, the crispier it will stay while you bake it, I find 1/2″ is about perfect!

Zucchini is best baked at a high temperature for a short amount of time, which allows it to slightly caramelize (which adds flavor) without getting mushy. In this recipe, your baked zucchini will only be in the oven for 8-10 minutes, including the broil section to roast it to perfection!

If you are grilling up some steaks or meat, change this recipe up by grilling your zucchini on the barbecue too (amazing flavor, I might add), and adding your cheese afterwards. The flavor of grilled zucchini goes perfectly with steaks and a pasta salad !

Baked zucchini is an easy recipe, and always a crowd pleaser. The bonus? You will most likely already have everything you need in your kitchen! It's delicoius, loaded with flavor and it's keto friendly as it's naturally low in carbs!

While they are both everyday ingredients, this combination of peas and corn mixed together is not common at all. The bright green and vibrant yellow of the peas and corn together really stands out. Their texture and flavors are complementary as well. The two veggies are sweet, small, plump, and perfect when mixed together with butter, garlic salt, and thyme. You can use other seasonings if you'd like; add some garlic powder, or use basil or marjoram in place of the thyme leaves.

Serve this easy and super quick recipe alongside everything from roast chicken, meatloaf, or a grilled steak or piece of fish.

This recipe calls for frozen vegetables, which make it the perfect side dish for any time of year. However, don't shy away from using fresh corn and or fresh peas during the peak summer season. The flexibility of this recipe is great. You can add in other seasonal (or prepared) produce, like chopped fresh tomatoes, roasted red peppers, or fresh basil to the bowl.

2 cups frozen baby peas

2 cups white and gold frozen corn

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
