Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake zucchini and potatoes in the oven? Prepare your food. I wrote the weight of potatoes and zucchini in grams, in pieces this is 2-3 potatoes and 1 small zucchini. Wash and dry the vegetables well first.

Step 2

Step 2
Peel the potatoes and cut into slices no thicker than 1cm — thicker slices will not have time to bake.

Step 3

Step 3
What kind of zucchini works best? Choose young fruits with delicate skin. It is not necessary to cut off very thin skin. If using more mature squash, trim off the rough skin and scoop out the seeded center. Cut the zucchini into circles; it is better to make them thicker, since zucchini cooks faster than potatoes.

Step 4

Step 4
Melt the butter in any convenient way. I did this in the microwave, read about other methods at the end of the recipe. Instead of butter, you can use any vegetable oil — then you will have a lean dish.

Step 5

Step 5
Place the chopped potatoes and zucchini in a bowl and pour the oil over them. Add salt, pepper and dry herbs (I used Provençal). Toss the vegetables until all pieces are evenly coated with oil and spices.

Step 6

Step 6
Take a suitable baking dish and line it with two pieces of foil in a crisscross pattern. Make the ends of the foil so that they can completely cover the mold to the middle. Place the potato slices on the bottom first, and then the zucchini on them. This is necessary so that the juice from the juicier zucchini drips onto the dry potatoes. Drizzle the remaining oil in the bowl over the vegetables.

Step 7

Step 7
Wrap the foil over the vegetables, leaving a small hole in the center for steam to escape.

Step 8

Step 8
Place the dish with vegetables in the oven, preheated to 200°C. Bake them for 40-50 minutes. The exact time will depend on the characteristics of your oven, the type and thickness of vegetables, and the size of the pan. Then remove the dish from the oven, but do not turn off the heat. Unfold the foil and place the peeled and crushed garlic cloves on top.

Step 9

Step 9
Return the dish to the oven uncovered, without foil. Bake it for another 10-15 minutes, until lightly browned. Also check readiness with a knife — it will easily pierce the potatoes.

Step 10

Step 10
Remove the finished dish from the oven and serve. Bon appetit!
