How to Bake Zucchini
Zucchini is very easy to overcook. The thicker you cut your zucchini, the crispier it will stay while you bake it, we find ½” is about perfect!
Zucchini is best baked at a high temperature for a short amount of time, which allows it to slightly caramelize (which adds flavor) without getting mushy. In this recipe, your baked zucchini will only be in the oven for 8-10 minutes, including the broil section to roast it to perfection!
