Fast and easy aren’t just for microwaved frozen meals. Zucchini is in season right this very instant, and of course CHEESE is always welcome in this house.

6. Sauteed Spinach
Learning how to saute spinach is one of the easiest things that a new cook can learn how to do. Spinach is such a healthy and versatile ingredient.
7. Roasted Parmesan Green Beans
One reason I love doing green beans in the oven is that the seasoning stays on the beans and bakes in. This recipe combines two of my favorite flavors that apply to nearly everything: garlic and parmesan.
8. Sauteed Mushrooms
There is no wrong way to saute mushrooms. Minced garlic and sauteed mushrooms were born to go together.
9. Oven Roasted Zucchini And Tomatoes
Here’s an easy sheet-pan side dish that tastes straight out of an Italian restaurant! While this oven roasted zucchini & tomatoes recipe is still a vegetable, it has enough crisp, yummy parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning on it that your whole family just may find it irresistible!

This Oven-Roasted Carrots With Thyme Recipe brings out the sweetness with a golden brown char, and the deep flavor of fresh thyme is activated, making this a scrumptious veggie side dish.
11. Roasted Radishes
Oven-roasted radishes are an uncommon but yummy way to prep and serve radishes. Roasting radishes brings out their sweet flavor and mellows that peppery bite a bit.
