This delicious and nutritious spread is my new addiction. With Zucchinis, onions and walnuts, it will upgrade any cracker.
Ingredients
  • 4 Zucchinis
  • 1 Medium Onion
  • 2 Tbsp + 2 tsp Olive Oil
  • 3 Hard Boiled Eggs
  • 3 Handfuls Walnuts (about 1¾ cup)
  • 1 tsp Salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400F (200C)
  2. Slice the zucchinis into ½ inch thick rings and the onion into ½ inch half circles (cut each whole slice in 2) and place on a parchment paper layered baking sheet .
  3. Drizzle 2 Tbsp olive oil on top of zucchinis and onions and place in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the veggies soften.
  4. Place the walnuts in a medium bowl and cover with boiling water. Let it soak for about 20 minutes (you can do this while the veggies roast). After 20 minutes drain and remove from water.
  5. In the food processor, place the roasted veggies, hard boiled eggs and walnuts and process until almost smooth.
  6. Add in the salt and 2 tsp olive oil and give it a quick process again. Process until even.
  7. If your spread is too chunky to your taste you can add 1 tsp olive oil or a bit of water to smooth it. It should be a tiny bit chunky, not completely smooth.
