ingredients

2 medium zucchinis, topped and tailed, cut in half lengthwise

400 g 14 oz

Olive oil spray

Cracked pepper, to season

Haloumi cheese, grated

150 g 5.3 oz

Cherry tomatoes, quartered (~12 medium)

100 g 3.5 oz

Paprika, to serve

Fresh basil leaves, to serve

Lemon juice, to serve

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 240°C/460°F, line a baking tray with cooking parchment and lightly spray with olive oil.

  2. Lay the zucchini sections (cut side up) in a single layer. Lightly spray with olive oil and season with pepper. Roast for 25-35 minutes or until they are deeply golden. Carefully top each half with grated cheese, stud tomatoes on the top at even lengths, sprinkle with paprika (if using) and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.

  3. Place fresh basil on top and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve immediately as a side dish with some grilled, lean protein (e.g. chicken or fish).


Hints

  • Other seasonal low FODMAP veggies can also be cooked using this method. These include squash, Japanese (Kabocha) pumpkin, potatoes and carrots.
  • Haloumi is a very salty cheese, so no salt is included in this recipe. You can also use other low FODMAP cheeses such as Swiss, Pecorino, cheddar, Colby or Havarti.
