Steps:
- Make the pesto
- In a food processor, combine the collards, peanuts, miso, and garlic and blend until it forms a chunky paste. While the food processor is running, slowly pour in the olive oil through the feed tube, adding more if needed to reach your desired consistency. Season with salt, pepper, and additional lemon juice to taste. Set aside.
- Make the zucchini
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, toss the zucchini with the olive oil and salt, then spread the zucchini over the baking sheet in one even layer. Roast until the zucchini is brown around the edges, 18 to 20 minutes. To serve, transfer the zucchini to a bowl and give it a few turns of pepper. Next, drop in a few heaping dollops of pesto so that people can scoop as much as they'd like when serving themselves, adding more pesto to the bowl as needed. Pile the peanuts in a small serving bowl and present alongside the zucchini.
- For any leftover pesto, pour a thin layer of olive oil over it, cover, and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
OVEN ROASTED CARROTS & ZUCCHINI RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut the carrots and zucchini into 3-inch sticks, making sure they are even in thickness. Line a baking tray with baking paper and a light layer of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. If you want to be adventuresome, try some of these spices! Paprika, cumin, cayenne, crushed red peppers, thyme, rosemary, sage - really, whatever takes your fancy and suits your meal. Using premixed spice blends is a great option too - Italian, Mexican, Old Bay - you know, just not all at once. Lightly toss your vegetable batons with a tablespoon or so of olive oil (not too much) and the herbs and spices. Spread your seasoned veggies over your lined tray and roast, tossing halfway through, for about 20 minutes or until golden and slightly browned at the edges.

Tips:
- Choose tender zucchini, small-sized with fewer seeds, for the best texture and flavor.
- Slice the zucchini evenly so that they cook evenly.
- Toss the zucchini with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This will help them brown and develop flavor.
- Roast the zucchini at a high temperature, 425°F (220°C), to caramelize them and create a slightly crispy exterior.
- Roast the zucchini in a single layer so that they have enough space to roast evenly.
- Keep an eye on the zucchini while they are roasting. They can burn easily, so it is important to remove them from the oven when they are tender but still have a slight bite.
- Serve the roasted zucchini immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Roasted zucchini is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed on its own or used in a variety of dishes. It is simple to make and can be customized to your liking.
