Make this for lunch, as a side dish or part of a buffet. Roasting the courgettes with smoked paprika, cumin and chilli flakes transforms them into something special.

Method

Preheat oven to 225°C and line two baking trays with baking parchment.
Put the courgettes in a bowl with two tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon paprika, pinch of chilli flakes and 1 teaspoon cumin. Mix and season well. Distribute over the oven tray in a single layer.
Roast for 15 minutes. After 10 minutes, add the garlic slices — dispersing them among the courgettes.
