📝 Ingredients

  • 4 Zucchini (small, chopped in quarters)
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cumin
  • Salt and Pepper (to taste)
  • 1/3 Cup Queso Fresco (or cotija cheese)
  • 1-2 Tablespoons Cilantro (minced)
  • 1 Wedge Lime (to squeeze on top)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Heat the oven to 425 and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. 2Prepare the zucchini by slicing in half, then slice each half in half and chop. Do not make too small, more like 3/4-1" pieces or they will cook too quickly and turn too mushy.
  3. 3Place the zucchini in a large bowl and toss with the olive oil and all of the seasonings.
  4. 4Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and beginning to brown on the undersides.
  5. 5Remove from the oven and sprinkle with cheese, cilantro and a squeeze of lime so as to evenly distribute everything. Now place in a large bowl for serving.
