Zucchini Fans
Ingredients
- 6 zucchini, about 6 inches long and 1 inch in diameter
- 3 medium tomatoes cut into 12 slices
- 2 medium white onions, peeled and cut into 12 thin slices
- ½ cup olive oil
- 2 T each chopped basil, oregano, and thyme
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Holding each zucchini firmly by the stem end, cut lengthwise into thirds starting ½ inch from the stem.
- Fan the 3 sections, being careful not to break the stem. Place each one on a separate piece of 6x9 inch aluminum foil. Keeping the fan shape, insert 2 slices each of tomato and onion between sections.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, herbs, and garlic. Brush the fans with the mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Wrap each zucchini fan tightly and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes.
- A variation is to grill each zucchini bundle for 10 minutes. And, after grilling or baking, add crumbled feta or goat cheese on top of the fans before serving.
