Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized zucchini
- 1 large eggplant (aubergine)
- 3 medium-sized tomatoes
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and slice the zucchini, eggplant, and tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Sprinkle the eggplant rounds with a little salt and let them rest for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Rinse and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and dried basil.
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
Arrange the vegetable slices in the dish, overlapping them slightly in an alternating pattern (e.g., zucchini, eggplant, tomato). Repeat until all slices are used.
Drizzle the garlic and herb olive oil mixture evenly over the arranged vegetables.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil, sprinkle the Parmesan and mozzarella cheese evenly over the top, and return the dish to the oven.
Bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy!
