Roasted squash and courgette bites
Background
During the winter festivities it’s good to have a few yummy nibble recipes. These roasted squash and courgette bites can be made ahead, so it’s a perfect dish for parties. The base recipe is vegan but feel free to use cheese, pesto, chorizo, bacon, pine nuts etc as filling between the veggies. I used mys spiced grilled chilli jam which gave the bites a real kick! You can serve is as a side dish too, for example, in a Christmas menu.
Ingredients
- 2 mini squash
- 1 courgette
- Olive oil
- 1 Garlic clove, minced
- Chili jam
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Cut the top of the mini squash then slice them into small wedges. Brush or spray them with oil, then put them on a baking tray. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the flesh is cooked through.
- Take the tray out and let the squash cool. You can refrigerate them or carry on with the recipe immediately.
- Using a vegetable peeler, cut the courgette into long strips. Brush them with oil, then fry them in a griddle pan until golden, then turn them over. Season with salt and pepper and brush the garlic on top of them - make sure the garlic doesn’t burn. When the courgette slices are golden on both sides, remove them to a plate.
- Drop some chilli jam onto each squash wedge then wrap them with a courgette strip. Season with pepper and salt if needed.
- Serve at room temperature. (The skin of the squash can be eaten!)
