Oven Roasted Zucchini
These oven roasted zucchini sticks are a crispy, healthy zucchini side dish that’s easy to make. The perfect, flavorful recipe for an easy roasted zucchini packed with nutrients and golden-brown edges.
Equipment
- Large baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Large bowl
Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchini ends trimmed and sliced into 8 sticks each
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional toppings Freshly grated parmesan, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, or flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Halve each zucchini lengthwise, then halve each piece again to create quarters. Finally, slice quarters crosswise into sticks, about 8 per zucchini.
- In a large bowl, combine the zucchini sticks, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss until well coated.
- Arrange the seasoned zucchini on the baking sheet in a single layer, cut side down for optimal browning.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are a rich golden-brown hue and the centers are tender.
- Before serving, sprinkle with optional toppings like parmesan or lemon zest for extra flavor.

Want to switch things up? Use avocado oil instead of olive oil for a higher smoke point, or swap oregano for smoked paprika for a bold twist.
