ZUCCHINI AND CARROTS WITH GARLIC AND HERBS



Zucchini and Carrots With Garlic and Herbs image

I 'adopted' this recipe in August 2005. I have made it and think it is a great recipe as written. I hope you like it as much as I did. I also found it went well with a little lite sour cream spooned on top of each serving for a change. The following words come from the original person who posted this recipe: "A nice summer-time side dish. I suggest cutting the zucchini a bit larger than the carrots, since it cooks faster. Substitute dried herbs if you don't have fresh."

4 large carrots
1 large zucchini
Olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

Season with salt and pepper. If you want to be adventuresome, try some of these spices! Paprika, cumin, cayenne, crushed red peppers, thyme, rosemary, sage - really, whatever takes your fancy and suits your meal. Using premixed spice blends is a great option too - Italian, Mexican, Old Bay - you know, just not all at once. Lightly toss your vegetable batons with a tablespoon or so of olive oil (not too much) and the herbs and spices. Spread your seasoned veggies over your lined tray and roast, tossing halfway through, for about 20 minutes or until golden and slightly browned at the edges.
