Ingredients

  • 2 pounds zucchini, (about 4 medium), trimmed and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon prepared pesto
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste

Cooking Directions

Step 1


Place a baking sheet on the middle rack of the oven. Preheat oven to 500°F.

Step 2


Toss zucchini with oil in a large bowl. Spread the zucchini on the preheated baking sheet in a single layer. Roast until beginning to brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
