Ingredients

• 4 medium zucchinis
• ½ tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon honey
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Guidelines
Warm up the oven.
Set oven temperature to 400°F, or 200°C. To prevent sticking, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it.
Get the zucchini ready.
After giving the zucchinis a thorough washing, trim both ends. For a more elegant appearance, cut the zucchinis into 1/4-inch thick rounds or diagonal slices.

Prepare the Sauce.
Minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, and teriyaki sauce should all be combined in a small bowl. Once the ingredients are well combined and the honey has completely dissolved, stir again.
Discard the Zucchini

Slices of zucchini should be transferred to a large mixing basin. After pouring the sauce over the zucchini, give it a good spin to cover every piece.

Place in a baking sheet arrangement.
Arrange the coated zucchini slices on the baking sheet that has been preheated in a single layer. Season with a bit of salt and pepper, to taste.
Cook the zucchini

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the zucchini is soft and starting to caramelize, in a preheated oven.

Include the last touches
After taking the zucchini out of the oven, place it on a platter for serving. For crunch and more flavor, sprinkle the sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions over top.
