4 servings
This is such an easy summer side dish! Below is my basic method. See the notes for lots of variations!

Ingredients

  • zucchini

    quartered lengthwise and sliced

    4 medium
  • baby tomatoes

    grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes

    2 c
  • 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
    1
  • balsamic vinegar
    1 tbsp
  • salt
    ½ tsp
  • pepper
    ½ tsp

Directions

  1. 1

    . In a large bowl, toss zucchini and tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil and stir to coat.

  2. 2

    . Stir in balsamic vinegar, and add a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    . Spread veggie mixture out onto a baking sheet, making sure that there’s plenty of room to allow for good air circulation.

  4. 4

    at 375 degrees for 30-45 minutes, or until you’ve reached your desired doneness (30 minutes will give you a more crisp-tender texture, while 45 minutes will give you some caramelization on the tomatoes, that I like)
