I really didn't know what to call this recipe. Everything I wrote sounded really boring. And this dish is anything but. Makes a great side dish to any kind of meal.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Using a blender or immersible blender mix the olive oil and garlic until the garlic is completely emulsified into the oil. Set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 250c/450f
  3. Cut the zucchini into 1/4 inch slices, lengthwise.
  4. Cover two baking sheets with parchment.
  5. Lay the zucchini in one layer. Using a pastry brush, coat each slice liberally with garlic oil. Sprinkle with salt and a bit of red pepper (not too much)
  6. Place in oven for 8 minutes.
  7. Take out of oven, and put on your broiler. When hot, replace each of the trays, one at a time, just for a few minutes to slightly brown.
  8. Place on a pretty plate, and top with chopped parsley and mint. Serve room temperature.
  9. Take out of oven and while still warm, barely sprinkle with the vinegar. Really, just a bit. You can use your fingers to just splash a bit on.
