Take-out Tuesday, Zucchini with roasted garlic and lemon
Gheff!
Nope, I didn’t sneeze! or swear 😂 this recipe is gheff, you know…
Green, Healthy, Easy, Fast & Fancy!
Slice zucchini lengthwise into thin planks
Roasted garlic gives the zucchini a tangy sweetness that is not overwhelming and the roasting garlic fills your kitchen with a wonderful aroma…
Smash/chop the roasted garlic and spread it on the zucchini slices, fingers work best
Do you know what’s wrong with this picture?
Yep, don’t use parchment for broiling 🔥
Use non stick foil for easy clean up
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot
See? I told ya it was gheff!!
Zucchini Ribbons with Lemon & Roasted Garlic
2 small to medium zucchini, washed
1/2 head roasted garlic*
1 lemon, sliced thinly

Roast zucchini on top rack of 450 degree oven for 8 minutes. Set oven up to broil and cook zucchini 2 more minutes. Cooking time will depend on thickness of slices so adjust accordingly.

Jenna, I wish I was more of a zucchini fan but I’m onboard with the roasted garlic…if only I didn’t prefer to slather it on a baguette and enjoy it with a glass of wine 😉
