Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In a large skillet, cook onion, garlic, and carrot (or bell pepper) in 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat, 4-5 minutes or until tender.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes and seasonings and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes or until thickened. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, cut vegetables to ⅛-inch thickness.
- Add the sauce to the bottom of a 2-quart baking dish. Starting with the outer edge, arrange the sliced vegetables standing up on their sides over the sauce. Brush with remaining olive oil.
- Cover and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with fresh basil and serve hot or warm.
Notes
- For more sauce, add 28 oz of crushed tomatoes (instead of 14 oz). For a zestier sauce, add 1-2 tablespoons tomato paste. The sauce can be replaced with marinara sauce if desired.
- Herbs can be replaced with 1 teaspoon herbs de Provence or Italian seasoning.
- *Diced bell pepper or shredded carrot adds a bit of sweetness to balance the acidity of the tomatoes—you can replace it with ¼ to ½ teaspoon of sugar if needed.
- Allow the sauce to simmer until thickened. The liquid from the vegetables will mix with the sauce and thin it out as it bakes.
- For firmer vegetables, reduce baking time. For softer vegetables, increase bake time.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
