Roasted Zucchini
A simple and easy side dish, this roasted zucchini is topped with fresh herbs, feta cheese, and lemon juice.
I made this easy roasted zucchini recipe to pair with creamy Tuscan chicken (Marry Me Chicken), garlic roasted tomatoes, and mashed potatoes. The roasted zucchini was easy to make and tasted fantastic topped with creamy cheese, fresh herbs, and lemon juice.
