A light and fresh baked vegetable dish that's the perfect accompaniment to any weeknight summer meal. In less than 30 minutes, you can have a garlicky, cheesy, and satisfying dish that's actually very healthy (vegetarian and gluten-free), your family won't even know what happened!
Wow! When did Monday get here? I spent the weekend getting a long list of do-to's down to a smaller long list of to-do's. It kinda took up the whole weekend and then Monday decided to show up.
With a major cheat meal day that happened this weekend, I needed to level my foodie playing field with a meal with a little lot more on the healthier side.
I went with some yummy chicken breasts and this Summer Tomato + Zucchini Bake. It was perfect for a cheesy, garlicky side that was satisfying to the bellies but also hella healthy for those counting their 'man carbs' {ahem...Hubby}.
Summer Tomato + Zucchini Bake
Ingredients
- 2 zucchinis, chopped
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
- ½ red or sweet onion, chopped or sliced
- ¼ cup shredded radishes, optional for a little extra crunch!
- ½ cup fresh parmesan cheese, shredded
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 Tablespoons chopped or shredded basil leaves, plus more for optional garnish
- 5 Tablespoons olive oil for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350*F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients together until all vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing.
- Place the veggie mix in a 9 x 13 baking dish and bake uncovered for 25 minutes for crunchier veggies and 30 minutes for more tender vegetables. Enjoy!
This looks amazing! I always cheat on weekends too -- and especially when I'm traveling (like I am now) -- but this looks like a great dish to try when I get back home! 🙂
I think I'm heading to my garden now to pick the basil, zucchini, and tomatoes to make this! It looks amazingly delicious and healthy!
Sounds like you have one amazing garden Renee! It was very delicious and didn't last long 🙂
