👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer, without crowding, cut side up.
    Baking pan
  3. 3
    Cut lengthwise slits in the flesh of the vegetables and tuck the garlic into them.
    Knife
  4. 4
    Drizzle the olive oil on top and sprinkle with the salt, black pepper, thyme and rosemary.
  5. 5
    Roast the vegetables in a hot oven (200°C / 390°F) 20 minutes, until the zucchini soften.
    ⚙ Oven roastingOvenBaking pan

  7. 7
    Roast everything in a hot oven (200°C / 390°F) another 5 minutes, until 0.
