Baked and dressed zucchini is a simple, yet delicious and healthy dish that elevates the flavor of zucchini through baking and a light dressing. Perfect as a side dish or a light main course, this recipe combines the freshness of spearmint and the tanginess of vinegar with the subtle sweetness of baked zucchini.
- Choose Fresh Zucchini: Select firm and blemish-free zucchini for the best results. Fresher zucchini will have a better texture and flavor.
- Uniform Slicing: Slice the zucchini uniformly, about 1/4-inch thick, to ensure they bake evenly.
- Preheat the Oven: Make sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking to ensure even cooking.
- Don't Overcrowd the Baking Sheet: Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer without overlapping to ensure they bake uniformly and get a nice caramelized edge.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the dressing before adding it to the zucchini and adjust the salt, pepper, and vinegar to your preference.
- Let it Cool: For a more intense flavor, let the baked zucchini cool down a bit before adding the dressing. This allows the zucchini to absorb the flavors better.
Baking zucchini brings out its natural sweetness, which pairs perfectly with the tangy dressing and aromatic spearmint. This recipe is easy to make and can be a delightful addition to any meal. Serve it warm or chilled, it's equally delicious either way!
