Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large zucchini
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 medium garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the zucchini and cherry tomatoes thoroughly. Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds and cut the cherry tomatoes in half.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, halved cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated in the seasoning.
Spread the vegetable mixture in a single layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet or in a shallow baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the vegetables.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the Parmesan is melted and slightly golden.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or a light meal.
