Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Zucchini

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Slice the zucchini into 1/2 inch thick medallions. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Roast the Zucchini

    Spread the zucchini medallions on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender.

  3. 3

    Make Ancho Romesco Sauce

    In a blender or food processor, combine the ancho chili powder, diced tomato, garlic cloves, red bell pepper (seeded and chopped), almonds, red wine vinegar, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Once the zucchini is done roasting, remove from the oven and serve warm drizzled with the ancho romesco sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley.
