Cookbook: Roasted Potato Salad Dinner


This fun dish is really customizable, if you like something a little different, by all means, change it, but let me know what it ended up being:)

Prep Time: about 10 minutes
Cook Time: about 30 minutes

Ingredients:
6 small potatoes, roughly chopped
1/2 medium zucchini, roughly chopped
2 cloves of garlic, pressed (alternately you can finely chop them)
6 leaves of fresh basil, finely chopped
1 can chickpeas, drained
1/2 cup frozen corn
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons of lemon juice
salt, pepper, chili powder to taste

*Notes: Chop potatoes and zucchini in to roughly the same size piece for even cooking
You can also combine potatoes, zucchini, spices and half the oil, leaving to marinate.

Instructions:

1. Head olive oil in large pot over medium-high heat.
2. Add garlic and saute for 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Add potatoes, zucchini, basil, lemon juice and spices; cover, simmering for 30 minutes, or until potatoes are cooked through. Stir as needed to avoid burning.
4. With 15 minutes remaining, add corn and stir.
5. With 5 minutes remaining, add chickpeas and stir.
6. Remove from heat when potatoes are cooked, stir and plate. 

I'll be playing with this a bit more, adding more veggies :) Enjoy!
