Summer Appetizers: Roasted Tomato and Zucchini with Goat Cheese Recipe

Roasted tomatoes are one of my favorite summer foods and when combined with goat cheese, make the easiest healthy summer appetizer.

Roasted zucchini is another favorite summer recipe that also tastes great with cheese (what doesn't).  I used a delicious goat milk gouda this time but it would also taste great over goat cheese.

Roasted Tomatoes:
*Half tomatoes and toss lightly with olive oil
*Lay cut side up on a roasting sheet
*Roast at 250 for a few hours or until they begin to shrivel, dry out and taste sweet (just make sure to pull them before they start to burn).

Roasted Zucchini
Slice zucchini into thin slices (about the thickness of a quarter)
toss lightly in olive oil
lay flat and sprinkle with salt and pepper
Roast at 350 for 30 minutes (or 250 for longer) or until they begin to brown and shrivel (just keep an eye on them).

Toast bread of your choosing (I like sourdough or french) under the broiler, layer with goat cheese and top with roasted veggies.

Enjoy!
