Baked Herb Zucchini recipe by Barefeet In The Kitchen

We had a great harvest from the garden this morning and I wanted a dish that would be a bit more substantial than simply sauteing or roasting, without being heavy or too filling.

It was well over 100 degrees here today and a heavy dish just didn’t appeal. This was even better than I had hoped to find.

My entire family ate this for dinner and really liked it. I am already looking forward to making this again with different vegetables and possibly some meats as well. My non-squash-loving son even requested the leftovers for breakfast. I’m calling this a huge hit!

Ingredients 

  • 1/3 cup uncooked Jasmine rice
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds zucchini and other summer squash sliced thin
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions

  • Combine the rice and water in a small pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for approximately 20 minutes, or until rice is tender. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
