Layered Vegetable Dish (Vegetable Tian)

Layered Vegetable Dish

(Aka Vegetable Tian)

Get ready for a delicious, healthy, garlicky, veggie dish that would be a perfect entrée or side dish to roasted chicken or chicken sausage. This also makes a ton, it fed my husband and I for about 6 meals. I put some leftovers on a bed of spinach for lunch, so you got some options!

Feel free to add any herbs or spices that fit your fancy, however, if I do say so myself, the garlic and thyme make a pretty good match.

Recipe inspiration from good ole' Pinterest: Vegetable Tian 

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 medium yellow onion (finely diced)

1 tsp minced garlic (minced)

2 medium zucchinis

2 medium yellow squash

2 medium potatoes

2 medium sweet potatoes

1 medium tomato

1 tsp dried thyme

Salt & pepper to taste

1/2 cup cheddar cheese

1/2 cup parmesan or romano cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Add olive oil to your skillet. Once hot, add diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until softened (about five minutes).
2. Meanwhile, start thinly slicing the rest of the vegetables (zucchini, squash, potatoes and tomato)
3. Spray the inside of a 9x12in baking dish with non-stick spray. Spread the softened onion and garlic in the bottom of the dish. Place the thinly sliced vegetables in the baking dish vertically, in an alternating pattern. Sprinkle generously with salt, pepper, and thyme.
4. Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, top with both cheeses and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown.

YUM! Enjoy!
