Instructions

1

Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; slice crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons.

2

In a small pot, combine rice, 2¼ cups water, and a pinch of salt (use a medium pot and 4½ cups water for 8 servings). Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-20 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve or stash, then fluff with a fork.

3

Toss zucchini on a baking sheet (two baking sheets for 8 servings) with a drizzle of oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 15-18 minutes (for 8, roast zucchini on top and bottom racks, swapping rack positions halfway through). Serve or stash rice and zucchini. When you’re ready to eat, divide rice and zucchini between plates.
