Tips:

  • Choose firm, small zucchinis for the best results. Cut them into even-sized pieces for even cooking.
  • To add extra flavor to the zucchini, marinate them in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • For a crispy glaze, make sure the zucchini is completely coated in the glaze before roasting. You can use a pastry brush to ensure even coverage.
  • Roast the zucchini at a high temperature (400-450°F) for a short amount of time (15-20 minutes) to caramelize the glaze and prevent the zucchini from becoming mushy.
  • If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can substitute another type of vinegar, such as white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
  • Serve the glazed zucchini as a side dish or appetizer. It's also great on top of grilled chicken, fish, or tofu.
