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
4 medium zucchini
4 cloves garlic
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
ground red pepper
salt
white wine vinegar
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
Instructions
Using a blender or immersible blender mix the olive oil and garlic until the garlic is completely emulsified into the oil. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 250c/450f
Cut the zucchini into 1/4 inch slices, lengthwise.
Cover two baking sheets with parchment.
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)
Place in oven for 8 minutes.
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.
Place on a pretty plate, and top with chopped parsley and mint. Serve room temperature.
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.
