You’ve made all the zucchini recipes. Then you look in your refrigerator and OMG THERE IS STILL SO MUCH ZUCCHINI. Time to bake this easy Roasted Zucchini recipe!

Meet the Best Roasted Zucchini Recipe

Zucchini spears that are seasoned with Parmesan and herbs and roasted to tender perfection, oven baked zucchini is the kind of no-brainer vegetable side dish that you’ll make first from summer necessity.

Then you’ll make it again because it’s simple and healthy, and miraculously everyone in your household eats it happily without complaint. (And for a hint of summer smoky flavor, try Grilled Zucchini.)

While every now and then I want to get more creative or indulgent with my sides (ahem, Bacon Wrapped Asparagus), most of the time, I want side dishes that are quick to prep, healthy, and will go well with a variety of dishes.

Roasted Zucchini is just that sort of recipe.

Like my favorite Roasted Potatoes and Carrots and Oven Roasted Brussels Sprouts, it bakes away hands-free in the oven so that I can focus on pulling together the rest of the meal.

And, like this Easy Sautéed Zucchini and Sautéed Cabbage, it has friendly ingredients like Parmesan and olive oil that win over picky eaters and vegetable skeptics.

How to Make Roasted Zucchini

The beauty of this recipe is its simplicity. Don’t overthink it! I’ve included a few basic steps, plus tips for you to vary up the spices if you’re feeling frisky.

Tip!

  • Start by trimming off the ends of your zucchini and slicing it lengthwise into quarters. I like to call this the “spear” approach.

Cutting the zucchini into halves, then quarters, makes this recipe ultra quick and easy to prep because the zucchini takes less time to chop.

Other benefits of larger pieces: larger pieces of zucchini are less prone to overcooking (and thus becoming soggy). See more about how to avoid soggy zucchini below.

  • Drizzle the zucchini with the Roasted Vegetable Big Three: olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Add any other spices you like. My go-to is Italian seasoning. It’s a quick blend, kid friendly, and versatile enough to pair well with anything you are serving with the zucchini.
  • Add some Parmesan. Because everyone likes Parm.
  • Toss to coat the zucchini evenly.

NOW, here is the game changer that will help you make the best, crisp-on-the-outside, tender on the inside, NOT SOGGY Roasted Zucchini.

A sheet pan of Roasted Zucchini pre-baking
  • ELEVATE THE ZUCCHINI by placing it on a baking rack, then setting that baking rack on top of your regular baking sheet. This allows air to circulate on all sides of the zucchini and helps water evaporate so the zucchini is beautifully caramelized, not soggy. I use the same trick to make crispy Zucchini Fries.

From here, all that remains is to bake!

  • Roast the zucchini at 400 degrees F for 12 to 15 minutes, until it is tender.
  • From here, I like to pop the zucchini under the broiler so that the Parmesan becomes nice and crisp.

At this point, your baked zucchini is hot, lightly cheesy, and absolutely delectable.

For an additional pop, squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the top and sprinkle the zucchini with fresh herbs if you like. Delicious!

Tip to Avoid Soggy Baked Zucchini

Ever wondered why your roasted zucchini is soggy? There are two likely causes.

Soggy Roasted Zucchini Culprit One: Overcrowding the Pan

With any roasted vegetable, if you crowd the veggies too closely on the pan, the air won’t circulate properly and the vegetables will steam instead of roast.

Baking the zucchini on an elevated baking rack as this recipe suggests is very helpful in helping the air circulate and avoiding soggy zucchini too.

If you have more zucchini slices than will fit on the pan comfortably (this happens especially with baked zucchini chips and baked zucchini fries), divide the sliced veggies between two separate sheet pans. Bake the pans in the upper and lower third racks of your oven and switch the pans’ position halfway through.

Soggy Roasted Zucchini Culprit Two: Overbaking

Unlike harder vegetables (like this cinnamon Roasted Butternut Squash), zucchini has a high water content. That means that if you overbake it, the water will seep out and your zucchini will be soggy.

Cutting the zucchini into larger pieces is a nice safety net. Larger pieces are harder to overcook. It’s another reason I love slicing the zucchini into spears.

More Slicing Options

If spears aren’t your thing, you have other options!

  • Dice the zucchini into bite-sized like Air Fryer Zucchini.
  • To use this recipe to make baked zucchini chips, cut the zucchini into thin (1/4-inch-thick coins). Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes.

If you go the zucchini chip route, be sure to give the slices plenty of room on the pan and watch carefully to make sure they don’t overcook. I still recommend using the baking rack trick too.

More Roasted Vegetable Options

  • Roasted Zucchini and Squash. Feel free to use a mix of yellow squash and zucchini in this recipe or use the recipe to cook yellow squash only.
  • Roasted Zucchini and Cherry Tomatoes. Replace half of the zucchini with 1 to 2 cups of cherry tomatoes. Omit the baking rack. Toss the vegetables together with the olive oil, Parmesan, and spices. Roast the tomatoes on one side of the sheet pan and the zucchini on the other. Toss the cherry tomatoes once halfway through.
  • Roasted Zucchini and Onions. Replace one of the zucchini with a small red or yellow onion. Omit the baking rack. Cut the zucchini and onion into chunks (instead of cutting the zucchini spears). Bake at 425 degrees F for 20 minutes, tossing the vegetables once halfway through.

Spices for Roasted Zucchini

This recipe includes my go-to combination of Italian seasoning, Parmesan, and lemon. It’s always a crowd pleaser and goes with just about anything.

For more options, you can also:

  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat.
  • Add a clove of minced garlic.
  • Swap the Italian seasoning for chili powder and the lemon juice for lime. (Omit the Parmesan.)
  • Top the Roasted Zucchini with fresh herbs. Dill and basil are two of my favorites.
  • Swap the Parmesan for crumbled feta. Sprinkle the feta on after the zucchini has baked.

How to Store Roasted Zucchini

In general, I do not recommend freezing zucchini due to its high water content. Frozen zucchini becomes mushy when thawed.

Roasted zucchini, however, is easy to store in your refrigerator! Here’s how:

  • After the roasted zucchini has cooled completely, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate.
  • Roasted zucchini can last in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • To reheat roasted zucchini: Arrange it in a single layer on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Reheat at 400 degrees F, just until the zucchini is hot. Do not overbake, or it will become soggy.

What to Serve with Roasted Zucchini

The beauty of roasted zucchini is that it tastes mild, meaning it pairs well with just about any main dish. A few I especially like it with include:

AND SO MANY MORE.

How to make the best easy roasted zucchini! Topped with Parmesan and Italian seasoning, this delicious zucchini is never soggy and goes with so many dishes.

Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 15 minutes
Total: 30 minutes

Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 4 small zucchini ends trimmed, quartered lengthwise
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, basil, dill, or a mix (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a cooling rack with nonstick spray and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Place the zucchini in a large bowl. Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with the Parmesan mixture. Toss to coat, then arrange the zucchini on top of the cooling rack on the prepared baking sheet, being careful not to overlap the spears.
  • Place in the oven and bake until the zucchini is tender, about 12 to 15 minutes. Turn the oven to broil. Cook until the Parmesan is lightly crisp on top, about 2 to 3 minutes. Don’t walk away! The second you stop watching the cheese, it will decide to burn.
  • Remove the zucchini from the oven and immediately squeeze the lemon juice over the top. Sprinkle with herbs. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For storage tips, see the blog post above.
  • For more ways to flavor the zucchini (or for ideas to use it to make zucchini and squash, zucchini chips, zucchini and tomatoes, and more!), see the blog post above.
  • To make vegan, Paleo, and/or Whole30 compliant: Omit the Parmesan.

  1. I really like the sound of this! Pinned it to my Vegetable board for easy retrieval when I wish to make this. Putting it on a rack makes good sense. Thanks!

  2. Hi Erin, Do you have any plans to offer an alternative cooking method, such as using an Air Fryer? With summer in full swing, it would be so helpful for some of us.
    Thank you, your recipe’s truly ” inspire me”❤

    1. Thank you so much for the kind words, Bo! They made my day! I’m afraid I haven’t played around with the airfryer, so right now it is just roasting. It’s something I’ll keep in mind though!

  3. Excellent! You look for innovative recipes for zucchini that stand out and this is one of them! Fast, easy, delicious..hello! My wife grew some large ones in the garden so I gave it an extra five minutes in the oven.. just sample it at the end to make sure it is at your “done”level.5 stars

  4. My family loved this recipe!  I made it for Thanksgiving as our token healthy side dish.  I like that it can be served at room temperature, if need be, because I didn’t stress about the zucchini cooling down in the buffet line.  Thanks so much!5 stars

    1. I’m so happy to hear that this recipe was a hit, Jocelyn! Thank you for taking the time to share this kind review!

    2. I tried this recipe tonight and it was a hit!! My zucchini usually comes out squishy. The rack makes so much sense!! And I love the spears and the seasoning!! Thank you!! 5 stars

      1. I’m so pleased to hear that this recipe was a hit, Marisa! Thank you for sharing this kind review!

  5. Yummy! These ended up so good! I didn’t brook them just due to time but they still were delicious! 5 stars

    1. I’m so pleased to hear that the recipe was a hit, Angela! Thank you for sharing this kind review!

  6. All 5 of us absolutely loved this, thank you! I personally can’t stand when people write “I did this or that” ; I wouldn’t leave a message if I made any changes! This is a keeper5 stars

    1. Hi Katelyn! Unfortunately, I didn’t measure how many spears per serving for this recipe, but you can give it an eyeball to portion it out into 6 once it is cooked. I hope this helps!

    2. The recipe makes 16 spears, so one serving would be 1/6 of that, or 2 spears plus 4 left over for seconds.

      1. Hi Laurie, if the recipe says it is 6 servings and there are 16 wedges, then each serving would be 1/6 of 16. So, 2-⅔ wedges is one serving.

  7. In a word, FABULOUS! My husband and I ate almost the whole pan tonight. It’s even good cold. I left off the black pepper and the lemon juice, used pre-grated parmesan cheese (didn’t have freshly grated) and it still turned out great. This will be a regular in our supper rotation and is our new favorite way to eat zucchini. Thank you Erin for the wonderful recipe!! YUM!!!!!5 stars

  8. I’ve made this recipe in the oven several times now, and it turns out fabulous. Now that the heat is on, I’m going to try it on the grill (on a rack over a pan on the “off side”). Fingers crossed that it turns out just as well!5 stars

    1. I’m so happy that you’ve enjoyed this recipe, Susan! I hope the grilling method is a success too!

  9. Finally, not soggy crisp and yummy. Thank you for spelling it out for me. I was going to give up on cooking zucchinis and only use them for zucchini bread…5 stars

  10. Nice recipe; added cut up portabella mushroom, yellow squash, and asparagus. Topping was a hit with everyone! Delish!5 stars

    1. Hi Fran, I’m sorry your zucchini turned out soggy. It’s so hard to say what might’ve happened without being in the kitchen with you. I hope you were still able to enjoy it!

    1. Hi! It will largely depend on the other recipe ingredients and instructions, so I’m afraid I can’t offer any specific advice. I hope you enjoy this recipe if you try it!

  11. I made this for my family not knowing how they’d react. They even gave me odd looks when I cut the zuchinni in spears and not in my typical circular slices (we’ve only eaten zuchinni in soups). This is THE BEST side dish I have ever made, even my picky eaters loved it. If you follow the recipe exactly, you will not be disappointed. Wish I had made more but with the winter storm that hit Texas, our supply of produce was limited. Planning on making this side dish at least 3-4 times a month.5 stars

    1. Hi Karen! You’ll want to make sure it’s an oven-safe baking/cooling rack since it’s going in the oven. I hope this helps!

  12. We loved it so much!!! Delicious!!! Might add a side of marinara to dip them in next time as well. I have a photo but can’t see where to post it.5 stars

  13. I am not a big fan of squash and zucchini, but my husband loves them. There wasn’t room on the grill for them, so I decided to try and find an oven recipe. I LOVED how tender and well seasoned they came out with this recipe. I think I may have changed my mind about these vegetables now!! Will definitely be saving this recipe for future use!!5 stars

  14. This is my new favorite way to make zucchini. The only thing I will change next time is to leave out the salt.5 stars

  15. Because we are vegan, I used Nutritional Yeast in place of Parmesan cheese and it turned out great. Thanks for recipe!5 stars

  16. sorry just saw this now will be making this soon can i use vegan parmesan as am a vegan i love zucchini soooooooooooooooooo much perfect for my office snacks will dm you if i make this and let you know how it goes Thanks Ramya

  17. Great option for roasted zucchini. Perfect flavour and texture. And so easy! Even my husband who doesn’t like zucchini finished it all and agreed to eat again. Thanks for sharing!5 stars

  18. Just delish! Went out and bought more zucchini the next day so I could make it again. Thank you for sharing your recipe and for elevating the poor underused zucchini.5 stars

  19. I made these yesterday and served them to company. They’re delicious! Everyone enjoyed them. I like that they are not breaded. My zucchinis (7) were small so I just halved them. Thanks for the recipe.5 stars

  20. I followed the recipe exactly and had perfect roasted zucchini. The outside was crisp and the inside was juicy. Roasting them on the cooling rack at a high temperature did the trick. The cheese, spices and the addition of fresh herbs and lemon made them extra tasty.5 stars

  21. I have been cooking zucchini wrong for over 20 years. This is by far the best recipe I have ever used. Mine was always soggy and I had no idea why. The splash of lemon at the end makes all the difference. This is now my go to for zucchini.5 stars

    1. Hi Jeff! So happy to hear this! So glad you enjoyed this recipe! Thank you so much for this kind review!

  22. Nice tip about the elevated baking rack – thanks for that…
    … I’m allergic to cheese (and all things aged or fermented), so I’ve learned to skip over and make my own substitutions in recipes. I wish more cooks, in real-life books or online, would offer alternatives.

  23. This was delicious, easy, and made the zucchini taste so sweet and tender. I used a very large zucchini and it was still wonderful. Nice change from sautéed zucchini!5 stars

  24. Delicious! My family loved it. My new go-to for cooking zucchini. Great for dipping in ranch dressing. Didn’t need to add the lemon juice or extra herbs.5 stars

  25. I just made these AND cauliflowers and served them to roast chicken and it was delicious, not the last time I will make it. Thank you for sharing. Hugs from Denmark ☺️

  26. Love this as a fresh way to make zucchini and it’s so yummy with tons of flavor from the herbs and lemon and cheese. Highly recommend!5 stars

  27. Cooking these tonight with Garlic Pork Tenderloin, scalloped potatoes. Perfect side, thank you 👌🏼💛

  28. I made this exactly as your recipe stated. It was excellent! And for the first time my zucchini wasn’t a soggy mess! Thanks for your great tips. My hubby loved it too! Thanks so much Erin!! I’m going to follow you for more great recipes!! 💖💣👏🏼5 stars

  29. This was so amazing! I added some everything bagel seasoning just because and it was awesome. Thank you!5 stars

  30. Yum. These are really good. I sliced my zucchini this time but will quarter it next time for sure. Simple and good. Thanks for sharing.5 stars

  31. I made these yesterday and I’d say that they were “meh.” I cooked them at 425 for 25 minutes and then broiled them for 5 and they were barely done. The topping needs more “zip,” like possibly some crushed red pepper, or maybe some mustard on the zucchini along with the olive oil. Most of them were left over and I will not be making these again.2 stars

    1. I’m sorry to hear the recipe wasn’t to your taste, Hilary. I know it’s disappointing to try a new recipe and not enjoy it. I (and many other readers) have enjoyed it, so I really wish they would’ve been a hit for you too!

  32. I’ve avoided cooking (and growing) zucchini for years now as I just didn’t like the slimy texture when they are cooked. I decided to give this a go and wow we loved it. Will definitely be making this again. Even my teenagers liked the parmesan and herbs.5 stars

  33. Made this tonight. Love the seasonings and that it doesn’t get mushy. This will be my go to, going forward. Thanks for posting! The recipe i previously used got the zucchini too soft. Baking rack worked like a charm5 stars

    1. No need, JenJen! If you make the recipe as directed, it should turn out perfectly. I hope you enjoy it!

  34. In all my years using internet recipes I have NEVER reviewed one, until now!! This was sooooo good 😍🥰‼️ I didn’t have fresh shredded parm so (embarrassingly) I used the powered + a little extra and I think it adhered and crisped up better. Because these are spheres the shredded cheese will just roll off. I added some dried dill to the herb mix. It didn’t need any lemon or extra herbs as suggested after cookIng. It was PERFECT5 stars

    1. Hi Allison! I’m so glad you did! Glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!

  35. Hi Erin!! Best roasted zucchini ever!! How clever of you to come up with placing the spears on a rack. Now why didn’t I think of that??5 stars

  36. I never leave reviews and I was starting to hate zucchini because it would always turn out soggy and gross me out but I figured I’d try one more time and I’m so glad I gave your recipe a try. It was awesome! Super easy and NOT SOGGY🙌 I will definitely make this again. Thank you so much.5 stars

  37. I just made these!! I have zucchini everywhere!! I keep saying I’m not growing it in the garden but I always do lol. I’m so glad I came across this recipe it is delicious! Kids ate them right up. Adults too. Followed exactly except added a little red pepper flakes. Would have been just as yummy without it. Cooked them a tad bit longer.Thanks for sharing!5 stars

  38. This was delicious – nice and crispy, not soggy. Very easy to make, too. Will definitely be making these on a regular basis!5 stars

  39. So yummy and so easy to make!
    My 3yo loved it, I loved it and so did baby (I omitted salt so he could have it as well). Always a win when we can all share a dish that’s flavorful!5 stars

  40. Best zucchini recipe EVER! Loved reading your entire post, from the opening (OMG so much zucchini in the fridge!) to the joke about the cheese burning in the broiler when you turn away. The texture was fabulously soft yet firm and the flavors were an amazing mix of nutty and salty, earthy, and fresh. My husband wants it again tomorrow tonight. :) This might be the only way we ever make zucchini. Thank you!!!5 stars

  41. I’m interested in the roasted zucchini recipe … and wondering what you would think about using an air fryer instead of the oven? It’s just two of us at home, and I try to avoid using the oven if possible!

    1. Hi Andrew! Here is a link to my air fryer zucchini: https://www.wellplated.com/air-fryer-zucchini/ Hope you enjoy it!

  42. I am 69 years old, so I have been cooking for a long time. I have never left a review, never. Your roasted zucchini recipe turned out fantastic. It can be served at any top of the line restaurant. Wow, what a treat. Thank you for sharing. Caron5 stars

  43. These are great! I’ve made these many times, and they’re always a hit. Am planning on adding these (again) to my Thanksgiving Day menu. They’re a nice lighter dish to add to the other Thanksgiving standards. Also, on occasion when needed for vegan guests, I’ve substituted nutritional yeast for the Parmesan Cheese. Equally as tasty! Have always had success with WellPlated recipes.5 stars

    1. Brilliant to use Yeast flakes! I wanted to make Mexican, so used chili and lime. The yeast put over the top5 stars

  44. I don’t know why, but my oven doesn’t have a broiler, is there a way to finish this in the air fryer? Or I have a torch, lol. I just want them to come out right.

    1. Hi! I would just use this air fryer zucchini recipe! https://www.wellplated.com/air-fryer-zucchini/ Hope this helps!

    1. Hi Curiouscat! I’ve never tried to roast cucumber, so I’m not sure. If you decide to experiment, I’d love to know how it goes!

  45. This was delicious! The only thing I did differently was to use olive oil instead of coconut oil, because I didn’t have any on hand. I will definitely save this recipe to make again!5 stars

      1. Ha! I just realized I accidently left this comment on the wrong recipe. 🫣 I did serve this zucchini as a side, and made this recipe as written. Sorry for the confusion about the coconut oil!

  46. Loved the recipe!!! Would make it again in a heartbeat and my fiancee loved it too!!!

    But the adds are over kill!!!! If you are someone like with a learning disability, it way to much of distraction and take the joy out of reading/ cooking something new and exciting. Yes, there are cook books ( and i print it out )but I learn best by watching videos, so please keep that up!!!

  47. Excellent dish!! My family loved this zucchini recipe and for sure a family hit for the future thank you !5 stars

  48. YUM. i did them on the grill and then transferred them to a pan and broiled them in the oven. so good!! i’ll make them again!5 stars

  49. Loved the end result. Easy to make, used my air fryer, Delicious, the lemon is an added great touch5 stars

  50. The flavor was good, I love zucchini. But it never did crisp, it feel all apart as zucchini does. Put it in the air fryer and no……it did not improve. Not gonna try this one again2 stars

    1. Sorry to hear you had trouble with the recipe Kate. These won’t get crispy but the parmesan typically makes them have a crisp coating. The method here helps keep them from being soggy, but it’s hard to know what went wrong without being in the kitchen with you.

    2. LOVED this recipe! Big fan of roasting vegetables for easy prep and maintaining some vegetable “crunch” (i.e., not soggy) – this recipe delivered on both accounts! I think I roasted mine for 20 minutes and then broiled, but everyone’s oven is different so cook it to your preference. I typically cut zucchini in rounds so this also was a fun, different way to enjoy it – will definitely make again!5 stars

  51. It was really delicious.I made half the recipe and ate the whole thing with a salad for dinner! I’m excited to have a new zucchini recipe where I don’t have to salt and soak it first. I’m going to experiment with using panko and nutritional yeast for Vegan family members who don’t use parmesan.5 stars

  52. My adult son is not a big vegetable fan. He Loved this recipe and told me I could make this for him anytime. Super quick and easy!5 stars

  53. Whoops you omitted the Parmesan cheese from the ingredients.

    Tip for preventing soggy zucchini: this squash has one of the highest water contents. So much that it will effect the outcome of many cooking methods. To prevent this, slice the zucchini into spears and liberally salt. Wait 15 to 20 minutes and you’ll see that a lot of water has sweated out. Whip away the water and salt with paper towels. Now cook it.3 stars

  54. Very good! Replaced the Parmesan with nutritional yeast, to make it vegan. This will be a new easy staple, thank you!5 stars

  55. I used to steam them and they’d always be overcooked. I like roasting them in this manner. This is the second time I’ve cooked them in this way and this time I even cooked them longer so they’d get slightly browned to use with my coconut milk curry.5 stars

  56. I’ve made roasted spears of zucchini before. After sprinkling with the oil, salt, and pepper, I also added some bread crumbs to add a little crunch. With the Parmesan and added spices, this is a great side dish to add to any meal!5 stars

  57. I have made this numerous times. It is definitely a go-to when I need something easy for company, particularly during grill season! Never disappoints! It’s not meant to be super crispy, but it is an awesome side. I don’t typically use the Italian seasoning, but just add the fresh herbs at the end. Always a hit!!5 stars

  58. This is a great recipe. I baked for 15 minutes & roasted for 4 minutes. It turned out great. I like the herbs. It was flavorful without being salty. I will definitely make this again.5 stars
