Thin-sliced zucchini swimming in garlicky chili herb oil… like antipasto went to Italy and never came back.

Ingredients:

2–3 small zucchinis, thinly sliced into rounds

1–2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped (in oil or rehydrated)

1 small red chili or ½ tsp chili flakes (adjust to heat)

3 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp fresh basil, finely chopped (plus extra leaves for garnish)

1 tsp fresh or dried oregano

Salt & black pepper, to taste

1 tsp lemon zest (optional, for brightness)

1 tsp balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar (optional for tang)

🔪 Directions:
Slice the zucchini very thinly using a knife or mandoline. Arrange in overlapping layers on a shallow plate.

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium. Add garlic, chili, and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté 1–2 minutes, just until fragrant (don’t burn the garlic).

Stir in basil, oregano, lemon zest, and vinegar (if using). Season with salt and pepper.

Pour the warm mixture evenly over the zucchini slices.

Let sit for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 1 day for deeper flavor.

Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Great as an appetizer, side dish, or light summer snack!
