I love simplicity. It usually provides the most pleasing results. Last night I was whipping up a pretty easy dinner - grilled chicken and flat bread, and decided I wanted vegetables instead of salad (we've been eating that a lot lately). This is a great recipe for you gardeners with an abundance of squash! Eat it as is, toss it with some pasta and parm, load up a baguette and broil it with some havarti or provolone - these roasted vegetables are so delicious and so easy, you're gonna love them as much as I do. All you need:
3 medium zucchini, thickly sliced
8 oz crimini mushrooms, sliced in half
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Toss everything together in a pie plate. Bake at 450 degrees F for 20 minutes. Toss gently, and return to the oven for about 10-15 minutes.
Make it even simpler and do it in your toaster oven, like me.
**For older babies, you can just do zucchini, blend it in the food processor, and mix it up with avocado and even a little wheat germ for a super nutritious meal!
