Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds zucchini
1 pound bell peppers
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic (sliced)
¼ cup fresh herbs (or 2 tablespoons dried herbs)
1 pinch salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven and prep veggies: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 C), then wash and cut vegetables. Slice the ends off of zucchini, then cut into 1/4 inch (1/2 centimeter) slices. Cut bell peppers in half, remove the seeds, then cut into thin slices.
  • Season vegetables: Place sliced zucchini and peppers on a sheet pan and combine with a drizzle of olive oil. Once completely coated in oil, season the vegetables with sliced garlic, salt, pepper and any other dried or fresh herbs that you prefer.
  • Roast vegetables: Bake veggies in the oven until soft and brown around the edges, which will take about 25 minutes. 10-15 minutes into cooking, toss the vegetables so they brown on all sides. Remove from the oven and serve immediately as a side dish, or let them cool and mix into salads.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm zucchini: Look for zucchini that is deep green in color, smooth, and free of blemishes. Avoid zucchini that is yellow, wrinkled, or has soft spots.
  • Slice the zucchini evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using a mandoline, be sure to use the guard to protect your fingers.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the zucchini will steam instead of sautéing. Cook the zucchini in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the zucchini until it is tender-crisp: You don't want to overcook the zucchini, or it will become mushy. Cook it just until it is tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Add the garlic and red pepper flakes towards the end of cooking: This will prevent them from burning.
  • Season the zucchini to taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the zucchini immediately: Zucchini is best served hot or warm. You can also chill it and serve it cold as a salad.

Conclusion:

Zucchini with garlic and dried crushed red pepper is a simple but flavorful side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a healthy meal. It is also a great way to use up zucchini from your garden. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and nutritious dish that the whole family will enjoy.
