Roasted Zucchini, Corn and Almonds with smashed Avocado

These last couple of weeks I have become more obsessed with Zucchini than ever. Not only is it such a versatile vegetable, it also lends itself to any flavors and accompaniments. Like this recipe…

Roasted Zucchini and Almonds with Smashed Avocado

I literally had zucchini, corn on the cob from the previous dinner and a handful of blanched almonds to play with.

I sometimes make life hard for myself, you see, I don’t plan recipes ahead of time.

I have to be creative everyday, with what I have in my fridge . The creative challenge is fulfilling anyhow.

This recipe of Roasted Zucchini, Corn and Almonds with smashed Avocado is exactly what it says. I roasted zucchini and corn with olive oil, roasted the almonds and served it with smashed avocado; add chili flakes and a little paprika and you have a delicious vegetarian side or main.

Also, have you noticed that you can “just add meat” to most of my vegetable recipes? I would add buttery fried chicken strips to this one… You can omit the corn if you want a completely low carb meal. Enjoy guys!
