Zucchini and potatoes in the oven (like fried)

ZUCCHINI AND POTATOES IN THE OVEN 

Ingredients

1.5 kg small or medium zucchini

5 large potatoes

Salt to taste

130 gr. olive oil

Instructions

Put the oil in a cup.

Use three shallow pans. The trays of the pizza are suitable.

Dip a brush in the oil and anoint the three pans with it.

Put enough oil so the zucchini and the potatoes can absorb some of it.

If you smear the pans with very little oil, the vegetables will stuck.

Wash the zucchini well.

If you see that there is soil stuck on some places of the zucchini peel, remove it with a knife.

Cut each zucchini into 3 or 4 oblong slices.

Place the slices in the baking trays next to each other.

Put some salt over the slices.

Dip a brush in the oil and smear the slices on top.

The slices of the zucchinis fill completely the first pan and the half from the second pan.

Place the full pan in the oven on the first rack on top.

Turn on the oven to 200 C degrees.

Peel the potatoes.

Rinse thoroughly and cut into large slices lengthwise.

Cut each potato into 5 slices.

Fill with potato slices the half full second pan.

Smear with oil the top of the vegetable slices.

Place the pan with the zucchini and potatoes in the oven on the middle rack.

Cut the rest of the potatoes in 5 slices each. Place them next to each other in the third pan.

If the potatoes are not enough to fill the pan clean some more.

Coat the potatoes on top with oil. Place the pan on the bottom rack of the oven.

Bake the three pans simultaneously with the hot air of the oven.

They do not need much cooking.

15-20 minutes is enough.

 The zucchinis in the pan on top get cooked first and smell nicely.

If you look at them they have a light brown color.

Take the pan out of the oven.

Be careful not to drop anything on the second pan that is under of the first pan.

Look at the zucchini carefully.

If you see that they are cooked on top but they aren’t cooked underneath, turn them over in the pan and put the pan back in the oven.

Bake for 5 minutes or as long as needed to get cooked on that side too.

Once the zucchini is prepared on both sides take the pan out of the oven.

After a little while look to the zucchini and potatoes of the second pan.

If they are cooked on top and uncooked underneath turn them over.

Put the pan back into the oven and bake more.

Continue in the same way with potatoes in the third pan.

When they are well cooked on both sides, take the third pan off the oven.

Let the vegetables to cool slightly in their pan.

So they will unstuck easily and you will be able to put them on a platter

Put on another platter the potatoes.

In this manner you make fried potatoes and fried zucchini in the oven.

Vegetables baked in the oven are very tasty, and they are lighter because they don’t absorb a lot of oil.

In the same way they you can fry in the oven carrots cut in half and onions cut in rings.
You can accompany these vegetables with tzatziki, or a spicy cheese dip, or a garlic sauce.
