Baby Zucchinis Roasted With Herbs

Want an elegant zero points plus recipe? (yes, I'm on WW) I'm finally at the age stage of my life when I can plan a special sit down dinner party. I can use my china and crystal, add beautiful flowers as a centerpiece, and entertain. We can eat a fancy meal, engage in uninterrupted conversation, sip a glass of wine, and enjoy our food. Baby zucchini roasted with fresh herbs makes a great presentation for a special side dish.

I really don't have a dinner party planned right now, but I was inspired the other day when browsing around Trader Joe's ( one of my favorite stores) . I noticed a specialty bag of tiny baby zucchinis.

Each zucchini was only about the size of a finger and skinny. ($2.99 a bag)

At first I wondered what you could do with such bite size vegetables and then the idea came to me.

Roast them whole to bring out the sweetness and season with garlic, cherry tomatoes and fresh rosemary. ( seasoned with 21 Salute)

So, I bought a bag and made it for dinner tonight for my husband and me.. The zucchini turned out to be extremely flavorful ,and I was delighted by how quickly they cooked.

Low in calories, high in fiber and nutrients.

Aren't they cute..? and wouldn't they be a perfect elegant side for a special dinner party?
