Bone Broth Carrot and Zucchini

 

4 medium carrots

1 zucchini

1 yellow summer squash

1 C. mirin

1/4 C. extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 C. bone broth or stock

1 tsp. sea salt

2 tsp. dill weed (or 1 1/2 T. fresh)

1 tsp. oregano

 

Preheat oven to 350° F. You can cut these vegetables however you want: If you’re in a hurry and not concerned about presentation, you can rough cut them into chunks. You can avoid chopping altogether by using one of the slicing attachments on your food processor and slice them into half-moons or rounds (a fast and easy kitchen trick). You can amp up the presentation for a fancy dinner by julienning them (again, your food processor may have an attachment for this— bonus!). Make flat strips (that is, long, thin slices) in your food processor or with a mandolin. As one more creative alternative, you could make thin spaghetti-like spirals with a spiralizer.  Put all ingredients into an uncovered casserole dish and mix well. Bake for 20 minutes (if you’re doing long, thin slices or spirals, cook for 10-15 minutes). The vegetables are done when they’re slightly soft when pierced with a fork. Save the excess liquid for another recipe.
