Warm Zucchini-Basil Salad

This is the perfect recipe if you have a lot of zucchini to use up. It is important to thinly slice the zucchini, so I use the slicer on my box grater. I sometimes fill 4 baking sheets at a time. You can eat it warm or cold. I will eat this portion all by myself.

Step: 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets with some olive oil.

Step: 2

Combine thinly sliced zucchini and olive oil in a bowl. Spread zucchini slices out in a single layer on the baking sheets.

Step: 3

Roast in the preheated oven until zucchini are soft and lightly browned on the edges, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool slightly.

Step: 4

Season with salt and pepper. Add basil and mix to combine. Serve warm or cold.

The most obvious way to choose a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose more different. If you’re making pasta, make sure for a simple healthy dish . Made steak? Go for more light. If you’re want to cooking stir-fry with rice, it must not a best idea to also make a rice salad.

This also can apply to cooking process . You don’t want to overcommit your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be rounding four pans on the stovetop . But often you can make a dish do more often .
