Makes 4-6 servings
Ingredients
4-5 medium zucchini
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano or dill, depending on taste preference
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4-1/2 cup vegetable or chicken broth (optional for sauce)
Preheat oven to 375. Wash zucchini and begin by chopping off the rough end. Peel dark, outside layer first and discard. Next, peel long, thin ribbons and stop when seeds begin to appear. Continue to work around until all that is left is the seeded, middle part. Once each one is finished, place ribbons in a small baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and mix in seasonings, cover with foil and allow to cook for 30 minutes, softly stirring half way through. The zucchini will release its own juices and create a steam that seals in the flavors.
*Excellent as a side dish but can also be made into a smooth, creamy sauce. Just add broth, a little at a time, in blender until desired consistency is achieved. This is a wonderful addition to pasta, rice, baked potato, on fish/chicken or even on it's own. Freeze any leftover in ice cube trays to save and add to soups for a rainy day.
*As with any new food, remember to try in small amounts at first and slowly incorporate into your diet.
