This roasted zucchini is a low-carb side to any Mexican dish- a great alternative to rice and beans! Easy to make and and jam-packed with flavor similar to Mexican street corn.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix the diced zucchini, olive oil (2 tablespoons), chili powder (1/2 teaspoon), garlic powder (1/2 teaspoon), cayenne pepper (1/8 teaspoon), and salt/pepper until well coated.
Spread evenly on baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes, or until zucchini is browned.
Serve sprinkled with lime juice, cotija cheese, and chopped fresh cilantro.
