Roasted Golden Zucchini With Breadcrumbs image

This is a wonderful way to cook your fresh zucchini, but you could throw in other veggies as well, such as eggplant, asparagus, tomatoes, etc. - with garlic, herbs, and breadcrumbs. Be careful not to add any other herbs or more than what is called for, so that the zucchini taste is not overwhelmed.

1 pepper, red, stemmed, seeded, quartered

  • Place vinegar in another small bowl; whisk in 3 tablespoons oil. Mix in parsley and oregano. Season to taste with salt.
