About the Zucchini Dish

Something I love about zucchini is how versatile it can be.  It pretty much takes on whatever flavour you add to it.  This is so easy and basic it almost doesn’t scream “recipe”, but it is so darn good you will just want to keep eating it.  I wish I had made more because I loved it so much.  Now filed in favourites for fall!

Note, When roasting the zucchini don’t forget to check on it about half way through cooking. Give it a really good stir around before returning it to the oven. This will ensure even cooking. 

Wondering what to serve this next to? Why not try the Oven Roasted Turkey Parmesan or the Zesty Pan Seared Salmon.
