how long to bake zucchini at 425
The baking time for zucchini at 425°F (220°C) can vary depending on the thickness of the slices, the desired level of doneness, and the specific recipe being used. Here are some general guidelines:
* Thinly sliced zucchini (1/8 inch or 3 mm thick): 8-12 minutes
* Medium-thick zucchini slices (1/4 inch or 6 mm thick): 12-15 minutes
* Thick zucchini slices (1/2 inch or 1 cm thick): 15-20 minutes
* Zucchini wedges or sticks: 15-20 minutes
* Whole zucchinis (small to medium size): 20-25 minutes
It’s also important to note that the zucchini should be tender and lightly browned when it’s done. You can check for doneness by inserting a fork or knife into the zucchini – if it slides in easily, it’s done.
To ensure even cooking, you can also try the following:
* Toss the zucchini slices with olive oil, salt, and any other desired seasonings before baking.
* Spread the zucchini slices out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
* Flip the zucchini slices halfway through the baking time to ensure even browning.
Keep an eye on the zucchini while it’s baking, as the cooking time can vary depending on your oven and the specific recipe being used.
