Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
Cut the zucchini into lengthwise strips and arrange them on the sheet tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with black pepper if desired.
Roast the zucchini in the preheated oven until golden brown and slightly softened, approximately 15-20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and serve warm.
