6 dried dates chopped into small pieces

Preheat the oven to 200C fan bake. On a large baking tray add sliced zucchini, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. On a separate baking tray add broccolini, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Bake the zucchini for 25 minutes; after 10 minutes add the broccolini and cook both vegetables for a further 15 minutes.
