Ingredients:

1 zucchini
200g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1.50 cups cherry tomatoes
270g
1 tbsp dried oregano
16g
1/3 cup olives
72g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Zucchini:
- Wash the zucchini thoroughly.
- Cut the zucchini into small, bite-sized pieces or thin rounds, depending on your preference.
3. Prepare the Cherry Tomatoes:
- Wash the cherry tomatoes.
- Optionally, you can cut them in halves for better roasting.
4. Toss with Olive Oil:
- 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.
5. Roast the Vegetables:
- 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.
7. Combine Everything:
- 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.
8. Season to Taste:
- Taste your salsa and add salt and pepper if desired. You can also drizzle a bit more olive oil if you like.
9. Serve:
- 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.
