- Take each zucchini, cut off the ends, then standing the zucchini on its end, cut the zucchini into 1/4-inch thickness slices lengthwise or use a vegetable mandolin. Lay the sliced zucchini strips onto the parchment lined baking sheet. No need to season, no overlapping of the zucchini. Use 2 large baking sheets, if necessary.
- Place them into a preheated 400 F oven for 5 minutes, then flip and bake another 5 minutes, remove from the oven, set aside until ready to use.
- In the meantime, place all the Dressing Ingredients and Spice/Herb Ingredients into a bowl, whisk until smooth and emulsified.
- Place the baked zucchini, cherry tomato halves and thinly sliced red onions into a long flat dish pour the dressing over top. Gently toss until everything is evenly coated. Allow to sit and marinade for 10 minutes. Then arrange on a serving platter, pouring the any remaining dressing over top. Serve and enjoy!
