This recipe replaces the traditional bread in bruschetta with roasted zucchini rounds, making it lower in carbs and GI. The tomatoes, basil, and garlic provide a burst of fresh flavor, while the mozzarella and balsamic reduction add a touch of indulgence. Grocery list: Zucchini, tomatoes, fresh basil, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, mozzarella cheese, balsamic vinegar, baguette (optional).

Ingredients

1 large zucchini (300g), 2 medium tomatoes (300g), 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves (10g), 2 cloves garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil (15ml), Salt and pepper to taste, 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (30g), 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (60ml), 1 baguette (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). 2. Slice the zucchini and tomatoes into thin rounds. 3. Arrange the zucchini rounds on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast for 20 minutes. 4. While the zucchini is roasting, mince the garlic and chop the basil. 5. Once the zucchini is done, top each round with a slice of tomato, a sprinkle of garlic, and a sprinkle of basil. 6. Sprinkle a small amount of mozzarella on each round. 7. Return the zucchini to the oven and roast for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. 8. While the bruschetta is roasting, reduce the balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat until it is thick and syrupy. 9. Drizzle the balsamic reduction over the bruschetta before serving. Optional: Serve on slices of toasted baguette.
