1-Getting started with this Parmesan Zucchini Corn Recipe: Begin by preheating your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. This step ensures your veggies roast evenly without sticking, setting you up for success.
2-Next: in a large bowl, combine the sliced zucchini and corn kernels. Drizzle them with the olive oil and toss everything together to coat evenly, which helps with that golden roast. Then, add the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, and give it another good toss to distribute the seasons.
3-Spread the mixture in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet to promote even cooking. Roast for 20 22 minutes, then flip the vegetables for another 5 minutes until the zucchini turns tender and the corn gets caramelized with a slight browning. For the final touch, sprinkle on the grated Parmesan cheese and bake for 3 more minutes, followed by broiling for 1 2 minutes until itβs golden keep an eye on it to avoid burning!
4-Garnish with chopped parsley and serve right away. This whole process takes just 5 minutes to prepare and 30 minutes to cook, totaling 35 minutes.
