Yukon Vegetable Bake
Ingredients
- 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, unpeeled and cut into ½-inch cubes
- 1 cup fresh corn kernels, about 2 ears
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- ¼ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup thinly-sliced onion, sliced pole to pole see Recipe Notes
- 2 cups chopped zucchini, unpeeled, cut into ¼-inch rounds
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Mix potatoes and corn in a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, basil, salt, and pepper. Stir well. Place on an 11 x 17-inch baking sheet.
- Bake about 25 minutes or until potatoes are tender, stirring halfway through cooking time.
- When potatoes have about 5 minutes of cooking time remaining, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion slices and zucchini. Cook until vegetables are slightly browned.
- Stir in garlic, and cook about 30 seconds, stirring constantly so garlic doesn’t burn. Add potatoes and corn. Stir well, and cook another 5 minutes before serving.
- Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 cup)
Notes
- Use yellow crookneck squash instead of zucchini.
- Serve with Grilled Portabello Steaks or Tahini Wild Rice Cakes.
- To slice an onion pole to pole, or into half rings, think of the onion as a globe. Trim root end (South Pole) and stem end (North Pole). Peel off outer layers. Cut onion in half from North pole to South pole, making a series of vertical slices perpendicular to the equator of the onion.
This was Really good!!! I plan to continue using this recipe after the fast.
Great! I’m so glad you liked it.
Tried zucchini for the first time last week so I decided to try this receipe. I enjoyed it. I added kosher salt and a little extra oil. To cut the baking time in half boil the potatoes first them cut and bake with the other ingredients. The fast has encouraged me to try a new vegetable and it was pretty good.
Great! Thanks for your feedback, Kim. Good job on being adventurous and trying a new vegetable. Way to go!
Going try this week may replace white patato. With sweet patatos.
Hey, Kendra! Well, it looks like you got the Kernel Cutter just in time!
I just got the PC kernal cutter last week and haven’t had a chance to try it yet. I’m going to buy corn at the grocery today just so I can give it a try.:) This recipe looks good. I plan to try it!
