Ingredients

  • 1 small zucchini
  • 1 small yellow squash
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • salt and pepper to taste or this Homemade Salt Substitute

Optional

  • 2 Tbsp vegan parmesan for cheesy flavor
  • 1 tsp olive oil to help the seasonings stick and flavor
  • 1 tsp nutritional yeast for savory flavor
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes for a little heat

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Prepare the Vegetables: Wash the zucchini and squash thoroughly. Trim off the ends and slice them into even-sized pieces, about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Season the Vegetables: Place zucchini and squash in a large bowl. Drizzle olive oil (if using) over the vegetables and sprinkle with seasonings and optional seasonings (if using). Toss the vegetables until they are evenly coated.
  • Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned zucchini and squash into a single layer on a baking sheet or a roasting pan lined with parchment paper. For best results, make sure they are not overlapping too much to allow for even roasting.
  • Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly golden brown around the edges, stirring halfway through the roasting time to ensure even cooking. Serve and enjoy!
