    These delicious roasted courgettes with lemon and garlic are so easy to make, and a delicious side dish for all sorts of mains. A great way to use up surplus courgettes!

    🍴 Why you will love this recipe

    When courgette season strikes and we have a big glut, I'm always looking for easy ways to use up courgettes in different ways. These lovely roasted courgette wedges are so easy to pop in the oven, and a delicious side dish to pair with many main courses.

    Roasted with garlic, and tossed in fresh parsley, mint and lemon, they are packed with flavour.

    Roasting intensifies the natural flavour of the courgettes, and they come out of the oven with crispy, golden edges and soft insides.

    ingredients for roasted courgettes

    Ingredients

    Courgettes This is a great way to use up a glut of courgettes from your garden or veg box. You can use small or large courgettes, just cut them into wedges roughly the size of your little finger to ensure even cooking.

    Olive oil gives a lovely subtle flavour to the roasted courgettes, but you can use a flavourless oil like sunflower or rapeseed if you prefer.

    Herbs I like to use a combination of fresh mint and parsley which are a perfect match with the lemon and courgettes, but use whichever herbs you prefer - basil or thyme are also an excellent pairing.

    👩🏽‍🍳 How to make your roasted courgettes

    For a full, printable recipe with ingredients and detailed instructions, scroll to the bottom of this page 👇🏼 .

    cut courgettes into wedges

    Cut the courgettes in half then each half into eight wedges. Toss the wedges in olive oil, crushed garlic, salt and pepper.

    roast and squeeze lemon over wedges

    Tip the wedges onto a large baking tray and turn them all skin-side down. Roast for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Just before serving, scatter with lemon zest, chopped parsley and mint and toss through the lemon juice.

    🔪 Top Tips & FAQs

    These roasted courgettes are best served as soon as they come out of the oven, so time your meal so they don't sit around for too long.

    Leave off the lemon juice until the last minute, so the courgette wedges don't turn soggy.

    Should you peel a courgette?

    No, there's no need to peel courgettes - the skins are delicious.

    What is the difference between a courgette and a zucchini?

    They are the same thing - Courgette is generally used in British English speaking countries, and Zucchini in American English speaking countries.

    What else can I do with too many courgettes?

    If you have a freezer, batch cooking this delicious Roasted Courgette Soup with peas and basil and freezing it in individual portions is a wonderful way to use them up.
    Or try making a big batch of Courgette Chutney - you could give away jars of matured chutney as homemade Christmas presents!
    This Creamy Courgette Curry is also a lovely main meal.
