Ingredients
  

  • 2 zucchini quartered into spears
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • Parchment paper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Slice each zucchini in half, then cut each half lengthwise into three or four spears.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Arrange the zucchini spears on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the lemon juice and minced garlic.
  • Use a grill brush or pastry brush to coat the zucchini spears with the lemon-garlic mixture.
  • Sprinkle the zucchini evenly with salt and pepper.
  • Bake for 20 minutes at 350°F.
  • Switch the oven to broil on high and broil for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the zucchini has a lightly roasted look and flavorful browned edges.
  • Serve warm as a side dish.

Notes

For the best roasted finish, keep a close eye on the zucchini while broiling because garlic can brown quickly.
