Greek Roasted Zucchini with Feta

Why This Is Strictly Keto

Zucchini is one of the lowest-carb vegetables, and high-heat roasting concentrates its flavor without breading. Olive oil and feta provide the fat and savory bite, while oregano and lemon supply the Greek character.


Ingredients

  • 4 medium zucchini or yellow squash, cut into long spears
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment.

  2. Season: Toss the zucchini spears with the olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper until evenly coated.

  3. Roast: Arrange the spears cut-side down in a single layer, without crowding. Roast 20–25 minutes, turning once, until golden and tender.

  4. Finish: Transfer to a platter, drizzle with the lemon juice, and top with the feta and parsley. Serve warm.

Tips

  • Space the spears out; a crowded pan steams the zucchini and leaves it soggy.
  • Lightly salt and blot the cut zucchini for 10 minutes if it seems very watery.
  • Add feta after roasting so it stays creamy rather than drying out.
