“Double cream tastes amazing when it’s baked in the oven! The flavour of baked cream completely changes into a deep, rich full-flavoured smack of heaven! Here, I chose to do courgettes baked in cream and I was not disappointed. Be sure to finish the dish with plenty of seasoning. I love using smoked sea salt flakes).” – Monya

More on Courgettes Baked in Cream…

Courgettes, also known as zucchini or baby marrow in some parts of the world, are a nutritious vegetable with many health benefits. They are low in carbs and packed with nutrients. Despite their low-calorie content, courgettes are rich in essential vitamins and minerals, including folate, and manganese.

Courgettes contain antioxidants such as vitamin C and beta-carotene. These help combat free radicals in the body, which can reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Furthermore, the potassium content in courgettes can help regulate blood pressure which is important for heart health.
 
Interestingly, courgettes are also a good source of vitamin A and lutein, both of which are important for maintaining eye health and may reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration and cataracts.
 
Remember, incorporating a variety of low carb vegetables in your keto diet will provide a wider range of nutrients and health benefits.
 

It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals.

Ingredients

• 300 g (10.6 oz) courgettes, (trimmed weight)

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan oven). This is 200°C for conventional ovens (or 400°F / gas mark 6).
• Trim the ends of the courgettes and slice at an angle into 1cm (0.4-in approx.)

• Heat the cream in a small pan until warmed through. Pour the warm cream over the courgettes and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
  
• Remove and generously scatter over smoked sea salt flakes.
  
• Garnish with fresh thyme (if desired) and serve with your favourite meat or fish, or simply tuck in and enjoy as is.
