Summer Vegetable Tian
Description
Summer Vegetable Tian starts with sautéing diced onion and minced garlic in olive oil until soft, creating a flavorful base. Thinly sliced zucchini, yellow squash, potato, and tomato are then arranged vertically in an alternating pattern over the onion mixture in a casserole dish. The thin slicing, especially of potatoes, allows all vegetables to cook evenly and soften during baking.
Generously seasoned with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme, the layered vegetables bake covered first to steam and soften, then uncovered with shredded Italian blend cheese until the cheese is golden and bubbly. This combination results in a tender, savory vegetable dish with a slightly crisp top from the cheese.
This Tian can be served as a side dish accompanying meat or fish or as a light main course. Garnishing with chopped fresh parsley adds a fresh herbal note and a splash of color.
Ingredients
- 1 yellow onion $0.42, medium
- 2 cloves garlic $0.16, minced
- 1 Tbsp olive oil $0.11
- 1 zucchini $0.75, medium
- 1 yellow squash $0.56, medium
- 1 potato $0.77, medium
- 1 tomato $0.71, medium
- 1 tsp thyme $0.10, dried
- salt $0.05
- black pepper $0.05
- 1 cup italian blend cheese $1.40, shredded
- 1 Tbsp parsley $0.08, chopped; optional garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Sauté the onion and garlic with olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the onions are soft and transparent (about 5 minutes).
- While the onion and garlic are sautéing, slice the zucchini, yellow squash, tomato, and potato thinly (1/4-inch slices). Make sure the potatoes are very thin so that they soften quickly while in the oven.
- Coat the inside of an 8x8" casserole dish with non-stick spray. Spread the sautéed onion and garlic in the bottom of the dish. Arrange the other sliced vegetables, stacked vertically like dominos, in an alternating pattern. Season the top of the vegetables generously with salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, top with the shredded cheese, and bake without the foil for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown. Top with chopped fresh parsley for garnish, if desired.
