Ingredients
Volumes are approximate. For baking, use a scale; Metric keeps the specified gram weights.
Let’s make it
- Heat oven to 425°F / 220°C. Cut zucchini into 1-cm half-moons. Toss with all oil and salt on a large rimmed metal tray, spreading in one layer.
- Roast 20 minutes. Turn zucchini and add peeled garlic, coating it in tray oil. Roast another 15-20 minutes until vegetables are soft and zucchini has golden edges.
- Scrape all vegetables, oil and juices into a shallow bowl; cool 10 minutes. Mash garlic thoroughly with a fork, then mash zucchini into a coarse spread and stir in lemon juice. Retain skin and liquid; do not strain.
- Divide into six equal portions. Refrigerate within 2 hours and use within 3-4 days. Bread or crackers are separate accompaniments.

Calculation notes & sources
ESTIMATED per serving. Brand, crop, preparation, draining, pan residue and substitutions change actual nutrition. Not laboratory analysis. Each ingredient retains its primary food description and state. All listed ingredient masses are counted; cooking moisture changes do not change the stated portion count. No generic nutrient-retention factor is invented. Calories are kcal; protein, total carbohydrate, fat and total sugar are grams. Total carbohydrate includes fiber and is not net carbohydrate. Fiber and sodium are not displayed. Equal portions or explicitly counted items define the stated recipe yield. US/Metric display changes do not change these canonical inputs. Primary-source supplements are retained per ingredient where USDA lacks a field; missing values are never silently changed to zero. One sixth of full spread; final weight varies with roasting evaporation. Plain vegetable ingredients support tags; labels and handling remain relevant, with no allergen-safety guarantee.
