Ingredients

  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes (sliced in half)
  • 5 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil (divided)
  • Unrefined sea salt (to taste)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 1/2 red onion (thinly sliced)
  • 6 cups spiralized zucchini
  • 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives (sliced in half lengthwise)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1.5 ounces anchovies (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Arrange cherry tomatoes on a large baking sheet, drizzle with 2 teaspoons of oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Roast tomatoes for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
  3. Heat the remaining 3 teaspoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add the onions and saute for about 4-minutes, or until they just begin to soften. Add the zucchini and cook, stir-fry style, for another 3 to 4 minutes, or until zucchini softens ever so slightly.
  4. Transfer the zucchini and onions to a large serving bowl and add the garlic, lemon, olives and basil; lightly toss the ingredients together. Gently fold in the roasted tomatoes. Add the anchovies (optional) on top. Serve at room temperature.
