Roasted Tomatoes and Zucchini Recipe
By Wendy Zitzman
I’ve always been a believer that less is more, and this Roasted Tomatoes and Zucchini Recipe supports that theory.
With just a few simple ingredients, this roasted vegetable side dish is incredibly flavorful, yet very low in calories. The cherry tomatoes are vibrant and full of a tart, juicy flavor. While the tender, sweet zucchini contrasts it. The slightly smoky taste from the roasting enhances the natural flavor of the vegetables, and it truly just tastes amazing. It’s such an easy vegetable side dish recipe to make and it goes so well with a variety of meals.
Serve it over rice with some soy sauce, on top of some spaghetti squash, or just eat it by itself!

If you haven’t tried a Baked Kale Chips Recipe yet, you are really missing out! When you are craving something crunchy and salty, this is a MUCH healthier alternative to potato chips, Pop Chips or popcorn.
I admit that I was a bit reluctant to believe that roasted kale would actually taste good, but I was pleasantly surprised and I’ve been a fan of baked kale chips ever since. I also love that these are kid-friendly veggies.
My 3 year old son gobbles these down, which says a LOT! If a picky toddler eats them, then they’ve got to taste good, right?
They are easy and cheap to make, and each 1 cup serving is just 1 Point. This means you don’t have to feel guilty about mindlessly eating them while watching TV at night :).
