Cherry Tomato And Zucchini Bake Food

SHEET PAN ROASTED MEDITERRANEAN VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchini, red onions, and garlic on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle and toss with olive oil. Season with basil and pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven until vegetables are lightly browned and easily pierced with a fork, 35 to 40 minutes.

ROASTED ZUCCHINI & TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss zucchini and tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil and stir to coat. Stir in balsamic vinegar, and add a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper.
• Spread veggie mixture out onto a baking sheet. Roast at 375 degrees for 30-45 minutes, or until you've reached your desired doneness (30 minutes will give you a more crisp-tender texture, while 45 minutes will give you some caramelization on the tomatoes that I like)

WHOLE-WHEAT CHERRY TOMATO AND ZUCCHINI PAN PIZZA

Steps:

• Set a pizza stone or baking sheet on the bottom rack of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F. Toss the zucchini with 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl and let sit.
• Spray the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch metal pan with cooking spray. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and start pressing it into a rectangular shape. Transfer the dough to the prepared pan and press it evenly all the way to the edges. Place the pan on the hot pizza stone and partially bake for about 10 minutes. The bottom should be lightly golden brown and crisp.
• Remove the pan from the oven. Sprinkle the crust with the mozzarella in an even layer. Pat-dry the zucchini and shingle the rounds in a single layer over the mozzarella. Spray the cherry tomatoes with cooking spray and toss with 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl, then top the zucchini layer with the tomatoes, olives and feta. Drizzle all over with the olive oil.
• Return the pizza to the oven and bake until the bottom is deep golden brown and the cherry tomatoes have wilted, 18 to 20 minutes,
• Top with torn basil leaves. Cut into 8 squares.
• Stir together the warm water, honey and yeast in a measuring cup or small bowl. Let sit until a small layer of foam develops at the top, 3 to 5 minutes. (If this doesn't happen, discard and try again with new yeast.)
• Whisk the flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl. Add the foamy yeast mixture and olive oil and mix together with a stiff rubber spatula. Form the dough into a uniform ball in the center of the bowl. Be sure to scrape and use any dough stuck to the sides. The dough will be very sticky at this stage. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and keep in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size, about 2 hours.
• Lightly dust a baking sheet with flour. Sprinkle a generous amount of flour on a clean, dry work surface. Scrape the dough onto the floured surface and knead for a couple of minutes, working in just enough flour to make the dough less sticky but still moist to the touch. Form the dough into 1, 2 or 4 balls, for large, medium and small pizzas. Place the dough ball(s) on the prepared baking sheet. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a dish towel and let rest for 30 minutes. The dough can then be shaped and cooked as desired or wrapped well and frozen for up to 1 month. Thaw frozen dough at room temperature, shape and cook as desired.

ROASTED ZUCCHINI AND TOMATOES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven and prep veggies: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 C), then wash and cut vegetables. Slice the ends off of zucchini, then cut into 1/4 inch (1/2 centimeter) slices. Cut cherry tomatoes in half.
• Season vegetables: Place sliced zucchini and tomatoes on a sheet pan and combine with a drizzle of olive oil. Once completely coated in oil, season the vegetables with sliced garlic, salt, pepper and any other dried or fresh herbs that you prefer.
• Roast vegetables: Bake veggies in the oven until soft and brown around the edges, which will take about 30 minutes. 10-15 minutes into cooking, toss the vegetables so they brown on all sides. Remove from the oven and serve immediately as a side dish, or let them cool and mix into salads.

SAUTEED ZUCCHINI WITH CHERRY TOMATOES, GARLIC AND BASIL

Steps:

• Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat; add the olive oil, swirling to coat the pan. Add zucchini; cook, stirring often, until slightly browned, about 2 minutes.
• Add the garlic; cook, stirring, until just fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes; stir until softened, about 1 minute. Stir in the basil, salt and pepper to taste.

CHERRY TOMATO, BOCCONCINI, AND ZUCCHINI PIE

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the zucchini; cook, stirring occasionally, until it is light golden and the liquid has been released, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; set aside.
• Halve one-third of the tomatoes. Stir the halved and whole tomatoes, cheeses, basil, lemon zest, flour, and sugar into the shallot-zucchini mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a 13-inch circle, about 1/4 inch thick. Make 7 3-inch-long cuts around the edge of the dough, evenly spaced. Trim to make 7 rounded flaps. Transfer to a 10-inch pie plate. Drizzle the crust with the remaining tablespoon oil. Spread with the filling. Fold in the flaps of crust, slightly overlapping. Put the tomatoes on the vine in the center. Refrigerate until cold, about 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Whisk the cream and egg yolk in a small bowl. Brush the crust with egg wash. Bake the pie on a rimmed baking sheet until the crust is golden brown and the juices are bubbling, about 45 minutes.
• Cheese Short Crust
• Pulse the flour, cheese, sugar, salt, and butter in a food processor until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the egg yolk; pulse to combine. With the processor running, drizzle in 1/4 cup water until the dough just comes together. (If the dough is still crumbly, add up to 1/4 cup more water, 1 tablespoon at a time.) Do not process for more than 20 seconds. Wrap the dough in plastic. Refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.

ZUCCHINI AND CHERRY TOMATOES WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Trim ends from zucchini. Quarter lengthwise and cut each quarter into half-inch lengths. There should be about three and a half cups.
• Heat oil and when it is hot add zucchini. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add garlic and cook, shaking skillet and stirring until zucchini starts to brown, about 5 minutes.
• Add tomatoes and continue to cook, stirring gently so tomatoes cook evenly without breaking skin. Cook about two minutes, just until tomatoes are heated. Do not overcook or tomatoes will break. Remove garlic and serve hot.
