Oven-Braised Zucchini in Olive Oil

Oven-braising zucchini in olive oil is a simple way to create a delicious side dish with very little fuss – perfect for a company meal when you have other things to attend to. The slow cooking draws out the natural flavors of the foods, particularly the sun-dried tomatoes, which add texture and an intense tomato flavor to the dish.
