Zucchini crisps up nicely in this simple recipe. The interior is creamy and soft without feeling mushy, with the outside remaining crispy. A squeeze of lemon after cooking adds brightness and tang.

  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • ½ teaspoon Dred Oregano
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Onion Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Pepper
  • 8 ounces Zucchini Sliced ¼-inch thick
  • 2 teaspoons Lemon Juice
