Ingredients
- 2 zucchini sliced into ¼ inch pieces
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon reduced balsamic vinegar
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tablespoon fresh mint chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prep Zucchini: Wash and dry your zucchini. Then slice them into ¼ inch slices.
- Marinate the Zucchini: In a large mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, balsamic reduction, minced garlic, salt, and half the chopped fresh herbs. Add the zucchini slices and toss until well-coated. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Preheat the Oven: While the zucchini marinates, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare for Roasting: Arrange the marinated zucchini slices in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap. Use parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 20 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until the zucchini is tender and the edges are golden brown.
- Serve: Transfer the roasted zucchini back into the mixing bowl. Add the remaining fresh herbs and toss gently to combine. Serve warm or at room temperature as a delightful addition to any meal.

Notes
- Herb Variations: Feel free to experiment with different herbs based on availability or preference. Basil or oregano can also complement the zucchini well.
- Marinating Time: For deeper flavor, you can marinate the zucchini longer, up to overnight. Just ensure it's covered and refrigerated.
- Serving Suggestions: This antipasti pairs beautifully with a variety of main courses, especially pasta dishes and grilled meats, or can be enjoyed as a standalone appetizer.
- Storage Tips: If you have leftovers, they can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Enjoy cold or bring to room temperature before serving.
- Making It a Meal: Add chickpeas or white beans to the roasted zucchini before serving to turn this side dish into a hearty, plant-based main.
