Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the zucchini thoroughly.
- Cut the zucchini into small, bite-sized pieces or thin rounds, depending on your preference.
- Wash the cherry tomatoes.
- Optionally, you can cut them in halves for better roasting.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini and cherry tomatoes.
- Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ensuring the vegetables are evenly coated.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of dried oregano over the mixture and toss well to combine.
- Spread the zucchini and cherry tomatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
6. Prepare the Olives:
- While the vegetables are roasting, roughly chop 1/3 cup of pitted olives.
- Once the vegetables are roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving bowl.
- Add the chopped olives to the roasted vegetables and gently mix everything together.
- Taste your salsa and add salt and pepper if desired. You can also drizzle a bit more olive oil if you like.
- Serve the roasted vegetable and olive salsa warm or at room temperature.
- This salsa is great as a side dish, a topping for grilled meats, or served with tortilla chips.
Tips:
- Ensure the zucchini and cherry tomatoes are evenly coated with olive oil for even roasting.
- Use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Keep an eye on the roasting vegetables to avoid overcooking, which can make them too soft.
- For extra flavor, consider adding minced garlic or a squeeze of lemon juice after roasting.
- Finely chop the olives to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the salsa.
This roasted vegetable and olive salsa is a simple yet flavorful addition to any meal. The roasted vegetables, combined with the tangy olives and delicate oregano, create a delightful medley of tastes and textures. Serve it warm or at room temperature and enjoy this wholesome, delicious dish.
