Roasted Zucchini With Labneh
Meni Valle's recipe for roasted zucchini with labneh, fresh basil and pumpkin seeds.
- 1 lb 2 oz (500 g) baby zucchini sliced into ¾-inch (2 cm) thick rounds (or lengthways, if you prefer)
- ¼ cup (60 ml) olive oil
- 7 oz (200 g) labneh
- zest of ½ lemon
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ small bunch of basil leaves picked
- 2 oz (60 g) toasted pumpkin seeds to serve
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss the zucchini with the olive oil, then transfer to a baking tray and roast for about 10 minutes, until tender and a little golden around the edges. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
Place the labneh and lemon zest in a bowl, season with a little salt and pepper and stir to combine. Spoon the labneh onto a serving platter and use the back of a spoon to spread it out.
Arrange the zucchini over the labneh, scatter with the basil leaves and pumpkin seeds and serve.
