Grilled Zucchini with Oregano
Zucchini is one of my favorite vegetables. And one of the easiest ways to prepare it is to roast them in the oven with a little garlic and olive oil. To season, I added dried oregano. Here is my recipe for Grilled Zucchini with Oregano.
The variety of zucchini I used is a “genovese” zucchini, straight from Italy. It is smaller than the classic zucchini and has a lighter green color. Of course, there is no problem to use any type of zucchini: green, yellow, round etc.
The benefits of zucchini
We all know that eating vegetables is good for your health. But what exactly are the benefits of zucchini?
First of all, zucchini is rich in fiber. They therefore facilitate digestion and help control blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Some people may have some difficulty digesting zucchini. In this case, prefer young zucchini, they are more digestible.
Zucchini are also rich in vitamins and minerals, including potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure, and beta-carotene, a vitamin known to be good for eyesight.

Place the zucchini on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Add the whole garlic cloves.
