Zucchini Medley

I love zucchini!  It’s one of my favorite vegetables alongside Brussels sprouts and asparagus.  This side dish is a new way to serve zucchini and is packed with veggies.

Servings: 6

Size:  1/6 of the serving dish

Points Plus: 2pp

Level of Difficulty:  Easy

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time:  30 minutes

Rating: 4 stars – Very good

Ingredient List:

2 medium zucchini, sliced

1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced

2 Tbsp. butter

2 medium tomatoes, sliced

½ green pepper, cut into ½ inch slices

2 tsp. oregano

Salt & pepper to taste

½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°. Arrange zucchini slices in layers on the bottom of an 8x8 glass baking dish.  Top with onion.  Sprinkle half of the oregano, salt & pepper on top of the veggies.  Place small pats of butter on top of the veggies (1 Tbsp.).  Next, top with tomato slices and finally end with green pepper slices.  Sprinkle the remaining oregano, salt & pepper as well as the last Tbsp. of butter.  Bake for 30 minutes or until the veggies look tender.  Serve with Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top.

Tip:

Make sure you slice the zucchini into thin slices (well all the vegetables actually) - this will allow the veggies to cook all the way through and be tender once the dish is done cooking!
