When it comes to roasted veggies, courgette is one of our favourites. First of all, it's FAST! (No shade, roasted beets.) Courgette gets tender in no time at all, so make sure to start checking them early to ensure they're not turning to complete mush.

Secondly, it's versatile! Feel free to swap in your favourite spices and herbs or keep it simple with salt and pepper. Roasted courgette is basically a blank canvas for your favourite savoury flavours, so don't shy away from your faves.
