Carrot and Zucchini Ribbons


There’s an interesting fact about zucchini. Those who have a taste for it love it in all forms and those who don’t, they only turn their nose up on Zucchini. Here’s an appealing recipe that might turn a few haters to the table for no less than some bites.  And even if they don’t, you don’t lose more than 10 minutes effort just to get a scrumptious meal all for yourself! Give it a try.

Serves 2-3
2 small carrots, peeled
2 soft and small zucchini, sliced paper thin length-wise
2 teaspoons olive oil
½ tsp oregano
1tsp parsley
½ tsp thyme
½ tsp rosemary
½ tsp basil
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
salt and fresh black pepper to taste

Pre-heat the oven at 3000 C.  Grease a baking dish with olive oil using an oiling brush or finger tips.
Wash Zucchini and cut edges from both sides. Make zucchini ribbons using a wide vegetable peeler. Sprinkle salt and set aside. Now make carrot stings using a vegetable stinger. If you don’t have one, you can cut the carrot into thin strings using a knife. Now toss zucchini ribbons, carrot strings and all seasonings in a bowl. Toss and leave for 5 minutes. Once your oven is hot, shift the contents to the baking dish and cook in the oven for 10 minutes.
