Roasted Zucchini and Squash with Fennel
I had some zucchini and summer squash in the refrigerator and was preparing to stir-fry them last night. Then I changed my mind and decided to roast them. And after tasting them, we were glad I did. Sometimes, it’s a good thing to change your mind!
Have you ever roasted fennel? It’s sort of amazing how the fennel undergoes a transformation into a sweet, caramel flavor and then the garlic infuses the zucchini and yellow squash. Add some salt and pepper, sprinkle with lemon zest and Voila! You have a great side dish for dinner. I served it with a green salad with a vinaigrette dressing and pork chops.
This is simple and a great combo of flavors. Not only were the vegetables delicious, they are nutritious and the calorie count was right on spot!
