Notes
I love the fresh and healthy ingredients of this dish, pairing together well to celebrate all the healthy ingredients. Yellow courgette has a nuttier flavour than green courgette, however you can also use the latter if you cannot find yellow courgette. You can buy store-bought roast courgette if you are trying to make a quick and convenient lunch-time meal, which you would double up, i.e. this would make 2 servings if you are eating it as a mains and 4 servings if you are eating it as a side.
