  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2-3 teaspoons olive oil

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a cooling rack with nonstick spray and place on a baking sheet; set aside.

  1. This was a great dish. My family got so bored with asparagus, so I made this dish and believe me it was a great change and a big hit. I only did 4 Zucchini and it was not enough so the next time I will double it. All was gone in 15 minutes, they love them.
