These Parmesan Garlic Zucchini Wedges are a dinner time game changer for those who think they don’t like vegetables. For starters zuchs are a pretty mild tasting veggie—not nearly as bitter as some like can be—which makes them the perfect vessel for absorbing the highlighting the flavors of garlic and parmesan. And then they’re roasted they become incredibly tender.

My family adored these wedges so much we fought over the last one on the table—yes, fought over a veggie! But who can blame us? All you taste in every bite is the savory, addicting combination of parmesan and garlic. A winning recipe for sure.
