Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 375F. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet. Saute the onion and bell pepper for 5 minutes. Add garlic, cook 1 minute. Stir in crushed tomatoes and salt. Simmer for 5 minutes, then spread evenly in the bottom of a round baking dish.

2

Slice the zucchini, yellow squash, eggplant, and Roma tomatoes into 1/8-inch rounds.

Tip: Use a mandoline if you have one for perfectly even slices. Consistency is key for even cooking.

3

Arrange the vegetable slices in an alternating pattern (zucchini, eggplant, tomato, squash) in a tight spiral on top of the sauce, standing the slices upright.

4

Drizzle with remaining olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and tuck thyme sprigs between the vegetables.

5

Cover tightly with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 10 more minutes until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned.

6

Garnish with fresh basil. Serve as a main course with crusty bread or as a side dish.
