Baked Herb Tomato Zucchini - The Nessy Kitchen

The Ingredients

Zucchini- If you want to make this with a larger, late season zucchini, I recommend peeling it and removing the seeds.
Tomatoes- I typically use whole cherry or grape tomatoes for this recipe. If they are on the large side, cut them in half. You can also use a larger type of tomato- just cut it into ¾ inch dice or wedges.
Garlic
Parsley- If you have fresh on hand, definitely use that! You will need 2 tablespoon finely chopped.
Basil- Use 2 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh basil if you have it on hand.
Sea Salt
Black Pepper
Olive Oil
Parmesan- This can be left out. Or for extra decadence, double the amount of parmesan and mix half of it into the dish with herbs and garlic and use the other half for topping.

The Method

Combine all ingredients in a baking dish.
Bake for 20 minutes.
Stir and sprinkle parmesan on top if using.
Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes.
Serve.

Leftover Storage

Store leftover Baked Herb Tomato Zucchini in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven at 350 F for 10-15 minutes until heated through. I don't recommend freezing as it will alter the texture of the zucchini.

Make Ahead

This can be assembled up to 1 day in advance prior to baking. Prepare, cover and place in the refrigerator and bake when ready.

How to Serve Baked Herb Tomato Zucchini

This is a great side dish with a variety of meals! Try it with Lemon Garlic Herb Cod and Lemon Herb Rice. Or it would be a good way to add some vegetables alongside Simple Barbecued Burgers.
