Roasted summer zucchini with crunchy Parmesan crumb topping and refreshing Greek yogurt dill dip. It’s an easy side dish that can be whipped up in no time!
Summer in my opinion is all about simple, easy, and no brainer dishes, whether that’s being main dishes, side dishes, or desserts. We have family favorites that we rotate on weekly basis, including a side that includes zucchini in one form or another. Summer zucchini is the best. It requires hardly any prep or fancy ingredients. This roasted zucchini is made with crunchy crumb topping of Parmesan, panko, herbs, garlic, and then served with insanely refreshing 5-ingredient Greek yogurt dill dip.

Zucchini
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Using a small spoon, scoop out some of the seeds out of the center of zucchini halves and place on the prepared baking sheet cut side up. Brush the insides with olive oil, season generously with salt and pepper, to taste. Flip and repeat with olive oil, salt, and pepper on the outside.
- Roast the zucchini cut side down for 8-10 minutes.
- While zucchini is roasting prepare the crumb mixture by combining together the Panko, Parmesan, parsley, basil, garlic, salt, and olive oil. Spoon the mixture evenly inside the zucchini halves and continue roasting for 8-10 minutes. Cut into serving chunks and serve with chilled yogurt dip.
