Zucchini is prepared in a variety of ways. These are delicious side dishes and main dishes that are suitable for everyday meals and a festive feast. They are pickled, boiled, stewed, baked, stuffed, fried, smoked, etc. But if you are a supporter of tasty and healthy food, I suggest baking the zucchini in the oven. This dietary and healthy food will delight you with its amazing taste and beauty. Zucchini is very well absorbed by the body, making the dish easy on the stomach. The vegetable belongs to the dietary menu, because contains few calories and is 95% water. But at the same time, it contains enough fiber, vitamin C, potassium and other important elements. Therefore, this is the best dish to saturate the body for a long time, while not gaining extra pounds.
Oven baked zucchini can be eaten on its own to help reduce weight, increase metabolism and increase the nutritional value of the diet. And you can also use them as the main ingredient for any other dish. This is a versatile vegetable that will decorate any table beautifully and giving a wonderful taste. In addition, due to its delicate taste, the vegetable goes well with many other products, which makes it a versatile vegetable in cooking.

Cooking zucchini step by step in the oven:
1. Wash the zucchini, pat dry with a paper towel and cut into rings of 0.5-0.7 mm thick. Only young fruits should be used for the recipe, because mature ones contain large seeds and thick rind, which will have to be removed and cut. To ensure that the courgettes are evenly baked, place them on a wire rack, which you place on a baking sheet. A baking sheet is necessary so that moisture can drain into it, which can be released from the zucchini and a safety net if the zucchini falls, because when baked, it will decrease in size.
2. Heat the oven to 180 degrees and send the zucchini to bake for 20-30 minutes. Look at the readiness by their appearance: they should be covered with a golden crust, but not burned out. You do not need to salt them when baking, because salt promotes the release of moisture, and when cooked, a lot of juice will flow out of the zucchini, from which they will become dry.
3. Put the prepared zucchini on a serving dish, sprinkle with a little salt and season with garlic passed through a press.
4. Wash the dill, finely chop and sprinkle the zucchini.
5. Apply a little chilled sour cream to each round of vegetables. You can vary the amount. If you are preparing a dietary meal and are worried about extra pounds, then reduce its amount or completely exclude it from the recipe. If you are not worried about the waist, you can apply a generous spoon. Serve the appetizer to the table warm or chilled. Boil mashed potatoes or young potatoes for a side dish.
