Hooray!!! This week’s harvest includes a vegetable I LOVE and know what to do with! Zucchini, I just ate a veg named Zucchini… Although we haven’t picked up our share yet, I thought I’d post one of our regular dinner favorites so the early pickuppers can enjoy it! It’s super easy, great for weeknights. We like it with chicken — heck, roast ’em both in the oven and let it do the work for you.
Italian Herb Roasted Zucchini
by CSAGourmet
1 medium zucchini per person
Penzeys Italian Herb Mix (I think you could easily substitute a store brand of dry Italian Dressing Mix, but this is what we use)
olive oil
Cut ends off zucchini, then halve zucchini lengthwise. If zucchini are very fat, you may want to cut it lengthwise again (making quarters). In a baking dish (I use glass, have also used a rimmed baking sheet), place zucchini cut side up. Drizzle with olive oil, then rotate/toss to fully coat. Again with cut size up, sprinkle Italian Herb Mix. Now, turn cut side down. Roast at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes, until fork pierces easily, but before they get really mushy. I don’t even bother to rotate them. The bottom (cut side) will have a delicious golden brown crackly-ness and the inside with be soft and smooth. Enjoy!
