Ingredients

- 3 medium, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds tomatoes
- 0.5 cup, pitted and sliced black olives
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup, grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Arrange half of the zucchini slices in an overlapping layer at the bottom of the baking dish.
Add a layer of tomato slices over the zucchini, followed by a scattering of half the black olives.
Sprinkle half the garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Repeat with the remaining zucchini, tomatoes, olives, and spices to create a second layer. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese together. Evenly spread this mixture over the top layer of vegetables.
Place the gratin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or a light vegetarian main course.
