This recipe is a lot more than just zucchini. I named it this because the inspiration was from a stuffed zucchini recipe. It includes many of the things I buy at the Farmers Market in the summer: zucchini, red potatoes, corn and sometimes tomatoes.
This is a very flexible recipe. The amounts and ingredients can just be a guideline. You could use frozen corn or fresh tomatoes. Skip any ingredients you don't like. The main idea is that roasting zucchini is a nice preparation, and I like including other good summer vegetables.
