Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 2 medium yellow squash, sliced
  • 5 medium tomatoes, sliced

Seasonings & Cheese

  • 1/2 cup quality parmesan cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian spices
  • Optional: salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the vegetables evenly.
  2. Arrange Vegetables: In a baking dish, arrange the sliced zucchini, yellow squash, and tomatoes in an alternating pattern. This layering not only looks beautiful but helps the vegetables cook uniformly.
  3. Add Cheese and Spices: Sprinkle the shredded parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the arranged vegetables. Then, add the black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian spices. Add salt to taste if desired.
  4. Bake: Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Bake until the squash is tender and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
  5. Serve: Remove from oven and enjoy this warm, flavorful vegetable bake as a side dish or light meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute the Italian spices with your favorite herb blend such as oregano, basil, or thyme for a customized flavor.
  • Use fresh parmesan cheese for the best flavor, but pre-shredded works in a pinch.
  • To reduce sodium, adjust or omit the added salt and use low-sodium parmesan cheese.
  • This dish pairs well with grilled chicken or fish for a complete meal.
