Roasted Zucchini and Beets, an easy roasted vegetable side dish with fresh summer zucchini and earthy beets. Great as a side or as a topping for salads or bowls!
Preheat oven and prep veggies: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 C), then wash and cut vegetables. Slice the ends off of zucchini, then cut into 1/4 inch (1/2 centimeter) slices. To cut beets, cut in half and then into cubes (you do not have to remove outer peel).
Season vegetables: Place sliced zucchini and beets on a sheet pan and combine with a drizzle of olive oil. Once completely coated in oil, season the vegetables with sliced garlic, salt, pepper and any dried or fresh herbs.
Roast vegetables: Bake veggies in the oven until soft and brown around the edges, which will take about 40 minutes. At about 20 minutes into cooking, toss the vegetables so they brown on all sides. Remove from the oven and serve immediately as a side dish, or let them cool and mix into salads.
