Ingredients
For the Base & Vegetables:
2 medium zucchini, thinly sliced into rounds
2 medium yellow squash, thinly sliced into rounds
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced into rounds
2 Yukon Gold potatoes (or red-skinned potatoes), thinly sliced
1 red onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup tomato sauce or marinara sauce
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
For the Seasoning & Topping:
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped (plus sprigs for garnish)
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat & Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a large oval or rectangular baking dish with olive oil.
2. Layer the Base: Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the bottom of the baking dish, then scatter the minced garlic and sliced red onion on top.
3. Arrange the Vegetables: Alternating slices of zucchini, yellow squash, sweet potato, and white potato, arrange them vertically in tight, neat rows across the dish until filled.
4. Season & Oil: Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil generously over all the arranged vegetables. Season evenly with salt, black pepper, chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, and dried oregano.
5. Cover & Bake: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
6. Add Cheese & Crisp: Remove the foil, sprinkle the crumbled feta and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top, and bake uncovered for another 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the edges/cheese turn golden brown.
7. Garnish & Serve: Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs and serve warm.
Chef’s Pro Tips
Mandoline Slicer: Use a mandoline slicer for uniform vegetable thickness to ensure even cooking and a picture-perfect presentation.
Cheese Addition: Add the feta cheese during the last 15–20 minutes of baking so it softens and browns slightly without burning.
