Low FODMAP Roasted Zucchini with Lemon & Garlic
We love roasting as a technique for vegetables because it brings out their natural sweetness and provides a nice char at the same time.
This very simple, one-pan Roasted Zucchini with Lemon & Garlic is fabulous with any kind of roasted or grilled meat, such as our Garlic & Herb Roast Leg of Lamb or Brown Sugar Baked Ham.
Here we have simply sliced zucchini on the diagonal, and then tossed them with Garlic-Infused olive oil and very finely grated lemon zest. ‘
Use a Microplane zester (rasp-style) zester for the right texture lemon zest.
Salt and pepper balance everything out.
