Recipe : Oven Braised Zucchini

Ingredients

 

2 lbs zucchini

4 to 5 cloves garlic, chopped

1 cup onion, chopped

3 ounces sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Spice Galleria crushed red pepper flakes

1-1/2 teaspoons Spice Galleria sea salt

Freshly ground Spice Galleria black pepper

1/4 cup The Olive Oil Experience 100% extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

 

Directions

 

Preheat the oven to 350°F and coat a 13 x 9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.

 

Trim the ends from the zucchini, quarter them lengthwise, then cut them crosswise into 1/2-inch chunks. Place in a large bowl, then add the garlic, onion, sun-dried tomatoes, crushed red pepper flakes, salt and a few generous grinds of black pepper.
Whisk the olive oil and lemon juice together in a small bowl, then add to the zucchini mixture and toss to coat thoroughly. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and cover with aluminum foil.
Bake for 20 minutes, remove the foil, stir, and return to the oven uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes longer. Transfer to a bowl and serve family style.
